SPREAD A SMILE TO ENTERTAIN CHILDREN IN HOSPITAL

I also work with Spread a Smile to bring joy to seriously ill children and teenagers in hospital. I perform and provide magical entertainment to those young people who are cooped up in hospital and would welcome some entertainment.

Principally, I work with South East and London based hospitals where every visit is personalised for each child I see. These children are suffering from conditions such as cancer, heart and kidney related illnesses are often confined to hospital for prolonged periods. What I, and the other engaged entertainers try to do, is provide a welcome distraction from the boredom - if you have spent any time in hospital you'll know how monotonous this time can be as your body responds to treatment and aims to get you better.

It's not just patients we aim to please, it's also the parents and relatives who there day-in, day-out. A brief distraction can make the day go so much quicker.

Spread a Smile does so much and with its bank of entertainers reaches over 6,000 children a year and has done so since 2013 when the charity was founded.

Josephine Segal and Vanessa Crocker founded this cause in 2013 after seeing the positive impact a magician's visit had on Josephine's 9-year-old nephew, Aaron, when he was treated in Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH), and the charity has never looked back.

In December 2016 the work of Josephine and Vanessa was acknowledged by Prime Minister Theresa May, who awarded them a Points of Light award.

The award recognises outstanding individual volunteers, people who are making a change in their community and inspiring others. In a personal letter to Vanessa and Josephine, Prime Minister Theresa May said: "Through 'Spread a Smile', you are brightening hospital stays for children and teenagers and making difficult experiences so much more bearable for the whole family. The additional trips and workshops you organise provide much-needed support and respite for families too."

Well done Josephine and Vanessa - I love working with you.
