Donate or fundraise for us this summer as part of our birthday celebrations. Every penny makes a huge difference!
In 2026, Once Upon a Smile will be celebrating 15 incredible years of supporting bereaved children and families. This milestone is only possible thanks to the kindness of people like you–and we’d love you to be part of it.
Throughout the year, we’ll be launching a series of special events and activities. Whether you want to fundraise, donate, or simply spread the word, there are so many ways you can get involved.
Examples:
Fundraise your way – Host a challenge at work, with friends, or with family. From birthday bake-offs to fun team challenges, every idea makes a difference.
Set up a regular donation – Help us provide consistent, long-term support to children when they need it most.
Donate directly – Every pound truly matters. Visit our [JustGiving page] to make a one-off gift today.
Raise awareness – Share your support on social media using #OUAS and help more families hear about our work.
