Welcome to Smiling Families

The charity was founded by Paul and Kerry Martin after Kerry experienced a life-threatening illness following the traumatic birth of their child, Owen, which led to a number of ongoing health concerns.

While Paul and Kerry received support from their families, they found limited opportunities to connect with other families in similar situations. Drawing from their experiences working with various Midlands-based charities, they decided to organize several family fun days, providing those affected by illness a chance to relax and enjoy time together as a family unit.

In addition to fun days and events, the charity offers support systems to help families foster friendships with others who have faced similar challenges.
