We are proud to announce we have been awarded the QAVS

The Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service is the highest award given to volunteer groups across the UK to recognise exceptional service within their communities.

Volunteers make an incredible difference to so many people’s lives and their communities. These prestigious awards recognise the wonderful work being done by many voluntary organisations across the country. I’d like to offer my sincere congratulations to all the worthy winners for their continued hard work and dedication.

 Minister for Civil Society and Sport- Mims Davies

Grant a Smile founder, Joyce was a former teacher who saw first-hand how the lives of children and their families were affected when a parent was ill. Their ‘normal’ childhood experiences of school, play and extra-curricular activities drastically changed because they had to support their parents.

Grant A Smile is an intervention support service set up to offer a free cleaning service to families battling serious illness and at the same time, granting very special wishes to their children. We strongly believe to have a clean house is to have your life in order!

“Grant A Smile is absolutely doing important work with families at what can be a hugely distressing and traumatic time for them. Without the preventative intervention that Grant A Smile provides, I would imagine that the impact of these traumatic experiences (Adverse Child Experiences) would almost certainly have long-lasting and far-reaching impact on their mental health, and consequently their physical health, as they continue to grow and develop”

How families qualify for support

Our compassionate volunteers meet with every family for an initial introduction, assessment and consent process. We agree on the services that would help you the most, as well as the days and times most convenient for you. To qualify for support,  you must live with your children and show medical evidence of your chronic illness. Although we may sometimes accept an application from families whose children no longer live with them. Each case is different and assessed differently.

 

Contact us today to see if you qualify for free support. We are here for you!
