We are delighted to announce a grant to support Theodora Children’s Charity to provide support in Sheffield Children’s Hospital.
Hospital visits can be a daunting experience for children, with painful procedures and long stretches of boredom. For parents, watching their child endure this can be heart-wrenching. Theodora Children’s Charity has utilised the power of play and laughter to help children facing illness and disability. Their Giggle Doctor program supports mental health by providing playful interactions.
With names like Dr Boogie Woogie and Dr Flowerpot, these special doctors wear unique coats and embody characters to engage with children. They fill hospital rooms with music, funny songs, silliness and laughter easing stress and anxiety.
Couldn’t we all benefit from a bit of giggle therapy!
