In 2020 The Smile Foundation in partnership with Diversify launched the first-ever ‘Tracy’s Christmas Smile’ appeal. We raised over £2000 for the appeal and helped two organisations Baby Basics and The Trussel Trust. We donated Christmas food parcels and delivered over 600 gifts to families in need.
This year we want to help even more. We have carefully selected six causes with Tracy in the forefront of our minds. You can read about them all below and find out how you can help us to give the gift of a smile this Christmas.
In 2020/21, The Trussell Trust’s Foodbank Network provided 2,537,198 three-day emergency food supplies and support to UK people in crisis. Of these, 980,082 went to children. We will be collecting food donations, match funding and delivering the parcels to foodbank across South Yorkshire.

Charlie's Place is a grass roots animal sanctuary, run by Claire and Wil, two people who have committed their lives to making the world a kinder place for animals. Running a sanctuary isn't easy, it takes a lot of hard work and can be heart-breaking at times but, for those animals lucky enough to find their way to Charlie's Place, it means a second chance. The facilities are home to abandoned, orphaned, injured and unwanted pets, dog, cats, horses, ponies, small animals and wildlife. Tracy loved animals and was passionate about providing care to those who need it most. We are asking people to donate so we can provide them with much needed food and aid to the animals in their care.

Sheffield Women’s Aid are a small charity established in 1974 solely based in Sheffield but housing women and children from anywhere in the UK who need a place of safety. The charity has been providing emergency accommodation for women and children that have suffered and survived domestic and sexual abuse and violence for over 45 years. They currently have two refuges in Sheffield. One refuge has 16 self-contained flats and the other has 20. Both stand in secluded gardens with areas to relax and opportunities for children to play.

Smile Pony Therapy provide psycho-social, emotional and physical benefits for a variety of people. It proves especially valuable when working with vulnerable groups of children and adults, including those with a mental or physical disability, young or elderly people.
All members of our pony team were rescued by Millhouses Animal Sanctuary in Sheffield.
Ponies are sentient beings, and have a special emotional intelligence and tend to mirror humans which can teach us a lot about ourselves, and can bring a variety of benefits.
The Tracy Christmas Smile is donating 6 visits to community and care settings.
