Help give happiness to sick kids,

one takeaway drink at a time

We’ve all recently experienced periods of uncertainty, social isolation and disruption. Children and families who manage serious illness face this every day.

Shout a Smile is a simple and effective way for your organisation to help these sick kids at a time when they need it most.

Everyone has their own routine. Whether it's a cuppa first thing, or a strong extra large flat white at 3pm. Shake up your routine and donate the cost of a takeaway drink (or one for each day of the week!).

How you help

Meet Thea

Thea has always been a happy and healthy little girl, which is why her dad Jon was so surprised to notice a ‘white glow’ in her right eye during a game. A late-night Google caused his heart to sink, and fear for what lay ahead.

Within 24 hours, Thea was admitted to hospital and diagnosed with cancer. The “white glow” was Retinoblastoma. Following a series of tests on the tumour, Thea’s parents made the hardest decision to have Thea’s right eye surgically removed.

Throughout her entire ordeal, Captain Starlight was there to comfort Thea and made her smile, transforming a traumatic experience into something fun and positive, helping Thea to overcome her health challenges.
