OPERATION SMILE! – our first Away Giving charity for 2026. During the month of March, we are collecting for the charity Operation Smile, which is dedicated to improving the lives of children with cleft conditions. If during the pregnancy either the palate, or top lip, or both, fail to close properly it leaves a hole, a cleft. In the UK, corrective surgery is routinely conducted after birth. It is free, but not in many places across the world. For some a child’s smile is priceless and for some it costs cash. For those youngsters unable to ask clearly “Why me?” or “How do I make friends without my smile?” there is an answer. Please support Operation Smile this month. Thank you.
