Theodora Children’s Trust
For most children, a stay in hospital can be a daunting and anxious experience. Imagine their delight when a clown doctor transforms the ward into a magical play space! Theodora Children's Trust brings music, magic, fun and laughter to children in hospital through weekly visits from clown doctors; professional artists trained to work in the hospital environment. Our team of 21 clown doctors will visit more than 50,000 this year and help to provide some light relief and comfort for these children, many of whom spend much of their young lives in hospital.

MedEqui4Kids
MedEquip4Kids is a leading children’s healthcare charity that works with medical staff, play therapists, community health practitioners, the ambulance service and other registered charities to provide equipment and to improve the environment in hospitals. The charity works to improve the care provided to children by funding items that would not usually be readily available from within the limited budgets of the NHS.

MedEquip4Kids aims to ensure that when children fall ill, suffer injury or are forced to deal with long-term conditions affecting their health and well-being, they have access to the very best healthcare facilities. MedEquip4Kids depends entirely on voluntary donations and is reliant on this support to continue to make a real difference to children in our community.
