Adopt a Clowndoctor this Christmas and give the gift of a smile. - Hearts and Minds. Improving lives, one smile at a time.

Our Clowndoctors are shining lights in a world that’s lost its sparkle.

Many children and young people who spend long periods of time in hospitals or hospices become anxious, withdrawn and unhappy. But you can change that. Why not give the gift of a great big smile this Christmas, Adopt a Clowndoctor and help the Clowndoctors bring back that special sparkle to vulnerable children across Scotland.

You can make the adoption as a way of making a regular donation to Hearts & Minds or adopting a Clowndoctor also makes a lovely alternative gift as a stocking filler at Christmas.

It’s really simple – choose your favourite Clowndoctor and click to adopt them. Leave your details and if it is a gift for someone and you would like it sent direct to them please email us with their details so we can send them their Adoption Pack.

Your pack will include a Certificate of Adoption, a Fun Fact Sheet, a Colouring in Sheet and, of course, a Red Nose!

Throughout the year there will be regular updates on the work of the Clowndoctors so you can see the difference your donation is making

Please support us this Christmas and Adopt a Clowndoctor – who will you choose?
