We have been working with companies across the Humber region since 2008 and have grown and developed lasting and trusted relationships that ensure businesses give back with ease in a way that works for them.
Collaboration is our strength. We make the experience of working together enjoyable as well as empowering, and being a part of Smile, means that fun is never far away.
Please help us
Charities need support. They need help with a whole host of things that they may or may not know they need, and if they do, they don’t always know how to do it. Sometimes this is specialist and other times it’s not, but either way, it is critical to making the difference.
If things go wrong, so does the ‘front line’. If Charities are not robust and resilient, how can they meet the increasing demands on their service?
When supporting Smile, you can be confident that our vast knowledge of the voluntary sector, our innovative ways and collaborative approach, means your funds will be maximized, making them work harder, last longer and go further.
A huge thank you to the businesses who donated to our Smile Chances Christmas Appeal in December 2023. Thanks to your generous donations, 11 charities benefitted from the appeal, either with physical or financial donations. Please see the link below to view our full festive report which includes more information regarding where the donations went, and how they helped support people during the festive period.
