"Having 'Make a Smile' join us for the afternoon was fantastic. They brought so much joy to everyone and in particular made one young man very, very happy. His Mum was blown away by the surprise and was able to enjoy a cup of tea whilst her Son played with his hero's"
Alison Johnston - Creative Facilitator & Time for Me Project Coordinator at Touch Trust
"We are incredibly grateful to the Make a Smile group for attending our play sessions – they were wonderful with the children, playing well with some who find interaction difficult and maintaining a fun and enjoyable atmosphere throughout the day. Our children loved seeing their favourite characters come to life and we are all looking forward to them coming along to play again soon."
"The event was a huge success, as were Jasmine, Elsa, Snow White & Batman, I only wish I had managed to capture the faces of the two little girls trying to dance with Elsa, but in utter amazement as she danced and sang along with them to Frozen. It could only be described as utterly ‘Gob Smacked!’
The four arrived in good time and went into character from the minute the first person walked through the door. They mingled with the service users, taking on board the spirit of the event, playing with the children and joining in all the activities. The children loved them, and some of the bigger kids too, they were a huge success and I will certainly be contacting you again in the future, I would highly recommend your service for any family event!"
"We can’t thank Make a Smile enough for bringing utter joy to our children’s faces every time they see their favourite Disney Princess walk into the room. The volunteers interact with the children with such warmth and sensitivity and really do ‘Make a Smile’ whenever they appear!"
