Community Projects
Smile aim is to support people in their senior years to stay active at home, in care homes, day centres or in the community.
Smile does this by raising funds with community projects.
The funds raised are then put towards activities equipment and donated to people living with age related illnesses and dementia.
Heritage Fairy Woods Project
In 2019 Smile launched a project with the Uphall community to create a fairy trail for local children to enjoy.
The Fairy Trail is made up of bespoke handmade Fairy Doors, each door is made to order and can be any theme, colour or name you wish.
The funds are then used to buy activities equipment for elderly people living with dementia.
Heritage Little Free Library Project

The Little Free Library is managed by local Bookfairies. The bookfairies recycle books and keep the Little Library topped up for people to enjoy and on dry days hide the books around the community.
