We are pioneersin the Hospital Clowning methodology in Spain and we firmly believe that therapeutic humor improves the quality of life of patients and their companions.

The medical staff, health, management, security, cleaning, etc., are figures that are expected in a hospital, but this premise is not given in the case of children and clowns. ¡The latter have nothing to do with hospitals! For this reason there is such a special connection between the two and they understand each other so well. The clowns are the only ones who do not focus on the reason for their hospitalization, but on the way to provide them with inexhaustible joy. Element that turns out to be, the best medicine.

We believe in a financing model that balances equally between self-financing (fundraising events, contributions from partners and individuals, selling merchandising, etc.), the support of the private business network, and that of public institutions. For this reason, we have a team oriented to the professional and regular management of resources, which guarantees that all support received will be completely reconverted into a dose of happiness.
