"Spread a Smile brings joy and laughter to seriously ill and hospitalised children and their families during long hospital stays. Every year we spread smiles to thousands of children and teenagers and their families through our hospital visits, outings and events and art initiatives. We know that our impact is far greater than a smile as we strive to make a real and positive difference to young lives at the most challenging of times by enhancing wellbeing and helping young patients cope with the pain and anxiety of serious illness and hospitalisation. In 2023-24, we delivered over 12,000 in-person bedside visits and over 2,000 virtual visits, in partnership with 32 hospitals and five hospice partners."
