Out of a Pod come seeds - the seeds of laughter, fun and feeling better...
Pod is a registered charity which provides magic and laughter for children in hospital.
Pod magicians, puppeteers, musicians and clowns give regular monthly shows in 140 hospitals and children's hospices throughout Britain.
No one likes being in hospital, least of all children. But even in hospital, children can have fun. Pod can't make children better. But it can make them feel better.
"As usual, oncology patients had a great time and were able to forget their drips whilst having fits of giggles" (Birmingham Children's Hospital)
"We were particularly thrilled that Kiely, who had been crying for a week constantly with pain from severe burns, managed to concentrate, join in and even smile" (Guy's Hospital)
During 2005, Pod's carefully chosen professional children's entertainers gave over 1800 shows, making thousands of sick children feel better. But there are many hospitals which are still on Pod's waiting list. Pod's ultimate aim is to provide shows at all hospitals and hospices which admit children.
Happy children get better quicker....
