What a fantastic, festive day at Smirthwaite! Our team came together in full holiday spirit - from colourful Christmas jumpers to some very committed costume choices (we see you, inflatable Santa and Christmas elf!).

A huge thank you to everyone who joined in the fun, spread cheer around the workshop, and helped make today extra special. It’s moments like these that show the heart of our Smirthwaite family. ❤️

✨ A productive day at Dolphin House, Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust, where Antony McDermott Brown (TPA South) delivered a hands-on demo of our paediatric sleep system to the therapy team.

The session was a real success, generating lots of interest and even a few follow-up appointments. Huge thanks to the amazing therapists for welcoming us and for allowing us to share these moments. We always value the opportunity to support teams in finding the best postural solutions for their children.

If you’d like to book a free demonstration or learn more about our sleep system, get in touch - we’d be happy to help.

Last week, Smirthwaite USA had the absolute joy of spending the day at NJEDDA in Clifton, NJ for a special Christmas celebration. Chris Doran or as the kids knew him, Buddy the Elf - had the chance to “share his affinity for Elf culture,” bringing smiles, laughter, and festive cheer to the students and staff.

Moments like these reflect what Smirthwaite truly stands for: not just great equipment, but a commitment to improving the quality of life for children everywhere. Being welcomed into NJEDDA’s community was an honor, and we’re grateful for the incredible work their staff does every single day.

A heartfelt thank-you to:
✨ Julie Huber, for her amazing support throughout the event
✨ Kelly Blochlinger, for helping plan everything ahead of her maternity leave
✨ Principal Marianne Idenden, for the warm welcome
✨ And the entire NJEDDA team for their kindness and partnership

We were especially moved by this beautiful message from NJEDDA staff member Sandra:

“It is Christmas in the heart that puts Christmas in the air - Christmas isn’t a season, it’s a feeling. The visit from Mr. Chris Doran from Smirthwaite was deeply appreciated by all staff. It is the acts of kindness that make the most profound impact. His genuine holiday spirit was felt by everyone. May the holidays fill your hearts with the gifts of joy, love, and harmony.”

We hope to make this a recurring tradition - and maybe even expand it to other holidays throughout the year. 💫

Thank you, NJEDDA, for allowing us to share such a meaningful and joyful day with your amazing students and staff.
