About Us

Make a Smile

Welcome to Make a Smile! This project is currently running virtually (where possible) in light of Covid-19

We believe that all children deserve a childhood and understand that illness or disability can make this very difficult for some children.

Our goal is to help these children to enjoy their childhood. We endeavour to be professional, forward-thinking and well trained but hold at the forefront of our practice that fun is the number one priority for both children and volunteers. 

There are usually three different volunteer roles available for this project - 

  • Character - attending events, playing games and interacting with the children as a character
  • Magic Maker - attending events, playing games and interacting with the children out of character. Often act as supporting staff. (good jumping pad to becoming a character)
  • Imagineer - an underrated role; not attending events but helping with the general running of the project, organising events and helping with costumes etc. (great for anyone short on time or not wanting to attend events)

This year we will be running as many in-person events as possible but with the current lockdown, we've introduced some exciting new virtual projects including online video calls, BSL Singalongs and online training for volunteers! Due to this new virtual interface, we can work around you! Its up to you which projects you would like to undertake and you can do them in your own time!

For more information, check out our website here: https://www.makeasmile.org.uk/

But in the meantime, make sure to follow us on Instagram and join our Facbook group to keep updated and become a volunteer with us here in Swansea!

Croeso i Wneud Gwên! Ar hyn o bryd mae'r prosiect hwn yn rhedeg bron (lle bo hynny'n bosibl) yng ngoleuni Covid-19

Credwn fod pob plentyn yn haeddu plentyndod ac yn deall y gall salwch neu anabledd wneud hyn yn anodd iawn i rai plant.

Ein nod yw helpu'r plant hyn i fwynhau eu plentyndod. Rydym yn ymdrechu i fod yn broffesiynol, yn flaengar ac wedi'i hyfforddi'n dda ond rydym yn flaenllaw yn ein hymarfer mai hwyl yw'r brif flaenoriaeth i blant a gwirfoddolwyr.

Fel arfer mae tair rôl gwirfoddoli wahanol ar gael ar gyfer y prosiect hwn -

Cymeriad - mynychu digwyddiadau, chwarae gemau a rhyngweithio gyda'r plant fel cymeriad


Magic Maker - mynychu digwyddiadau, chwarae gemau a rhyngweithio gyda'r plant allan o gymeriad. Yn aml yn gweithredu fel staff ategol. (pad neidio da i ddod yn gymeriad)


Dychmygydd - rôl rhy isel; peidio â mynychu digwyddiadau ond helpu gyda rhedeg cyffredinol y prosiect, trefnu digwyddiadau a helpu gyda gwisgoedd ac ati (gwych i unrhyw un sy'n brin o amser neu ddim eisiau mynychu digwyddiadau)


Eleni byddwn yn cynnal cymaint o ddigwyddiadau personol â phosib ond gyda'r broses gloi gyfredol, rydym wedi cyflwyno rhai prosiectau rhithwir newydd gan gynnwys galwadau fideo ar-lein, BSL Singalongs a hyfforddiant ar-lein i wirfoddolwyr! Oherwydd y rhyngwyneb rhithwir newydd hwn, gallwn weithio o'ch cwmpas! Chi sydd i benderfynu pa brosiectau yr hoffech chi ymgymryd â nhw a gallwch chi eu gwneud yn eich amser eich hun!
