At Joseph’s Smile, every initiative we support comes from personal experience—the struggles we faced, the challenges we overcame, and the heartbreak we endured. Each of these programs exists because we understand the pain of a cancer diagnosis and the unimaginable stress that comes with trying to secure the best possible treatment for a child. The charity works in 4 different areas to give families hope, time, and the help they need – When They Need It Most.

1. Grants for Families,  2. Wiggly Vest Scheme,  3. Neuroblastoma Research,  4. Bells for Heaven Campaign

Grants for Families

No parent should have to choose between affording treatment and spending time with their child. We know this struggle firsthand—fundraising for Joseph’s cancer vaccine meant losing precious moments with him.
We provide grants to help families access life-saving treatments, essential medical equipment, and travel costs not covered by the NHS. By working with other charities, we ease the financial burden so families can focus on what truly matters.

Wiggly Vest Scheme

Hickman lines are essential for childhood cancer treatment, but they also come with constant risks. When Joseph had one, we lived in fear of it being pulled or infected.
Designed by his mother, Katy, our Wiggly Vests were created with Joseph in mind. Now, in his memory, we provide them to children across the UK, ensuring their lines are safely secured. These vests give children the freedom to play while offering parents peace of mind—a small but powerful way to make treatment a little easier.

Neuroblastoma Research

Neuroblastoma is one of the most aggressive childhood cancers, with limited treatment options and a high risk of relapse. Sadly, the impact of childhood cancer doesn’t end with treatment—2 in 3 survivors are left with long-term side effects from their cancer or its treatment.
We partner with childhood cancer research charities to fund groundbreaking studies and trials that drive safer, more effective treatments. By improving survival rates, advancing kinder care options, and working toward a cure, we bring hope to children and families facing this devastating disease.

Bells for Heaven Campaign

Losing Joseph was beyond heartbreaking, but we honour his memory—and every child taken too soon—through our Bells for Heaven Campaign.
At midday on Christmas Eve, families across the UK ring a bell in remembrance, creating a moment of love, unity, and togetherness. No family should grieve alone and we ensure their children’s names and stories live on.

£157,915

Grants given to children to access Lifesaving or Lifechanging medical treatment or equipment.

Why it all started

Joseph’s Smile was created in memory of Joseph Yeandle who sadly lost his fight to cancer in December 2021. 

Joseph’s family were desperately raising funds for Joseph to access further treatment in New York, but sadly Joseph never had the chance to access what he needed. In Joseph’s legacy, the family are committed to helping other families who have to fund treatment/equipment that’s not currently available on the NHS.
