Theodora Children鈥檚 Charity

The Theodora Children鈥檚 Charity sends specially trained performers, called Giggle Doctors, to provide restorative moments of fun and laughter to children in hospitals, hospices and specialist care centres across England.

The Giggle Doctor visits help to reduce anxiety, improve wellbeing and provide increased opportunities for play in the healthcare environment.

Ava was just 2 years old when she was diagnosed with a form of kidney cancer. The Giggle Doctors took some of the fear and anxiety away.

Ava is doing well and occasionally visiting the hospital for check-ups. She always looks forward to seeing the Giggle Doctors. Ava is one of more than half a million children who have been visited by the Theodora Children鈥檚 Charity since it was founded in 1994.
