Theodora Children’s Charity
The Theodora Children’s 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.
