Creating Smiles and Memories Everyday…
Over the years, we have worked closely with children’s cancer charity Young Lives V’s Cancer, to grant wishes and provide holidays in our caravan to the children and families they refer to us.
Maddi’s Butterflies and YLVC have since discussed other ways in which we can add to our services to create even more smiles for children going through the fight of their lives.
We have now introduced Smile Bags and Smile Boxes to children during their cancer journey.
We worked very hard to launch ‘Smile in a Bag’ during 2020. Our aim is that the bags will help even more children who need a pick-me-up during their cancer journey.
We provide our Smile Bags to children from the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital, Alder Hey Children’s Hospital and Birmingham Children’s Hospital with a view to helping other hospitals in due course.
The reusable bags are specifically designed and filled with fun, bespoke and age-appropriate goodies.
YLVC will also refer specific children who really need a boost later on in their treatment.
These children will receive a bespoke ‘Smile Box’, including many more of their favourite things.
Our aim, as ever, is to keep ‘Creating Smiles and Making Memories Everyday’ for children who are fighting cancer.
