Hearts & Minds

What exactly is a Clowndoctor? 🤔❤️
They're specially trained performers who work alongside healthcare teams to bring laughter, imagination and connection to children and families in hospitals.
No two visits are the same. Clowndoctors always follow the lead of the person they're visiting, creating moments of playfulness and distraction during some of their most difficult days.
And sometimes, a little laughter can make a difficult day feel that bit brighter.

Behind every visit is a moment that matters. ❤️

Sometimes the impact of a Clowndoctor visit is best explained by the people who experience it.

September is Alzheimer's Awareness Month and we invite you to spend 30 seconds with the Elderflowers and take a glimpse into what a visit with the Elderflowers means to the ladies and gents living with dementia.

Smiles, laughter and above all a valuable connection is what you will see.
“It's so nice to be happy. Do come again” Participant 💛

For over 25 years the Elderflowers have visited thousands of people across Scotland. We want more people living with dementia to make friends with the Elderflowers.
You can help.
