Giggle Doctor visits for children in hospital

A new Giggle Doctor programme will soon be starting at St George's Hospital!

We are very excited to announce that this year a new Giggle Doctor programme will be starting at St George's Hospital in London. Soon even more sick and disabled children will experience the joy and laughter of magical Giggle Doctor visits.

Two Giggle Doctors will be visiting St George's Hospital every other week, brightening the wards with music, magic, laughter and play.

Dr Bananas and Dr Whoopee arrived for the first time on the wards recently to meet the staff, children and parents, who they will soon be giggling with reguarly. The Wandsworth Guardian captured the moment and you can read all about it on their website here.

We are truly excited to be visiting a new hospital and to be working closely alongside the incredible staff at St George's Hospital. A new hospital means a lot more giggles and we can't wait to share exciting news and stories when our programme begins!

Thank you for all of your support, which has helped us to expand our programme to a new hospital and reach even more sick and disabled children at a time when they need us most.

“My daughter arrived on the ward today very teary eyed and nervous, with her little head full of memories of needles, pain and illness. However, we arrived at the same time as the Giggle Doctors! Within a minute they had completely captured her attention and put her totally at ease. She completely forgot where she was and thoroughly enjoyed her time with them both, as did I! Thank you so much for everything you did for Ava-Grace today, you made a huge difference in a little girl’s world and made the hospital a much brighter place to be"
