The weather is getting warmer, the sun is shining and our new Spring/Summer Newsletter is ready to download!
Inside you can read about Zoe's experience meeting Dr Teapot during her hospital visit...
“She was in the hospital for steroid injections when she met Dr Teapot. We were sat in the waiting room and for 10 minutes we were able to forget where we were. Laughter, as they say, is the best medicine, for the parents as well as the children - we giggled just as much as Zoe!”
You can also find out how to take part in our latest event - Little Legs March! To celebrate International Children’s Day on 14th May, we’re asking you to get your children together for a sponsored family walk. You can take part any day in May, simply choose a route and distance that suits your family and their little legs, whether it is a stroll through the forest or climbing a local hill. You can sign up here or email events.uk@theodora.org to speak to a member of our team.
We also share our supporter’s incredible efforts to raise money to help our Giggle Doctor programme. This includes an interview with James Lane, who took part in TWO challenges last year - Serpentine Mile Swim and Royal Parks Half Marathon...
"It has been a privilege to support Theodora Children’s Charity as part of team Miles for Smiles. As a child in the 70s I spent a week in hospital and I remember a children’s entertainer coming in and brightening up the stay no end, so I hope supporting these events will give others the same enjoyment”
You can also read about 2016’s impact and how your support has made a big difference for so many children. Over 33,000 children received a magical Giggle Doctor visit last year and 90% of hospitals believe that the Giggle Doctors increased opportunities for fun inside hospital. Read even more impact results and stories inside our latest issue.
Thank you so much to everyone who has supported our Giggle Doctor programme. You can download our latest newsletter here and read how your generous support really does make a huge difference for so many poorly children across the country.
“When you have a child that’s chronically ill and you have to go in to hospital over and over again, it’s just nice to know there are people out there who recognise that and help.”
