Founded in 2011, Once Upon a Smile was built on a vision by Daniel Jillings and Danny Miller, who felt strongly about the lack of support for families after the death of a loved one, specifically parents, children and siblings. According to Child Bereavement UK, a parent of children under 18 dies every 22 minutes in the UK, heightening the need to provide safe environments that allow children to understand and express their emotion.
Over £37,000 was raised for our previous charity of the year, MQ, a mental health charity extremely close to our hearts.
Helen McHaleWe are really pleased to have made Once Upon a Smile our Charity of Choice. As an organisation committed to the health and wellbeing of our customers and communities it is a great fit. The work they do to support families is invaluable and we are proud to be a part of this and support them through our fundraising activities.
