Giggle Doctors at Bradford Royal Infirmary
Theodora Children’s Charity’s Giggle Doctors have been visiting the BRI for 11 years and have helped reduce the stress and anxiety youngsters experience when in hospital.
Giggle Doctors are professionally trained performers who combine music, play, magic and storytelling to bring magical moments to thousands of brave children in challenging times.
The Rotary Club of Bradford undertakes many acts of service to support their community and organisations working on improvement projects.
In 2020, President Tina Bennett announced Theodora Children’s Charity as her chosen Charity of the Year to support their work with children in the BRI.
Mrs. Bennett said: "I have a 31-year-old grandson who is blind and has Cerebral Palsy. Luckily, he has amazing parents, and he loves having a bit of a ‘do’. He laughs a lot.
"This is the reason I chose the magnificent Theodora Giggle Doctors as my Charity of the Year. I can really appreciate that giving children respite from their illness, if only for a short time is essential.
"There is nothing better than hearing a child laugh.”
It is thanks to the generous support of the Rotary Club of Bradford that the Giggle Doctors are able to continue their brilliant work.
One parent commentated: "My daughter arrived on the ward today very teary eyed and nervous, with her little head full of memories of needles, pain and illness.
"However, we arrived at the same time as the Giggle Doctors! Within a minute, they had completely captured her attention and put her totally at ease.
"She completely forgot where she was and thoroughly enjoyed her time with them both, as did I!
"Thank you so much for everything you did for Ava-Grace today, you made a huge difference in a little girls world and made the hospital a much brighter place to be."
