Supporting NHS Charities Across the UK: How Smile Box is Helping Staff Wellbeing

When people think about the NHS, they often think about doctors, nurses, wards, clinics, and lifesaving care.

But behind the scenes, there’s another incredible network working tirelessly to improve experiences and provide vital support — NHS Charities.

The real impact comes from hearing directly from the NHS Charities we’ve worked with — the teams who understand their staff best and know how much small gestures can mean.

In this blog, we’re sharing three NHS Charity case studies that show exactly how wellbeing gifting can lift spirits, strengthen culture, and create moments of connection across healthcare settings.

Three NHS Charity Case Studies … But Don’t Take Our Word For It…

Every NHS Charity we’ve worked with has had different goals — but the heart of the mission is always the same: supporting the people who support everyone else.

Here are three powerful examples of NHS Charities using Smile Box to create real wellbeing impact:

How Smile Box Supports NHS Charities With Wellbeing Gift Boxes

At Smile Box, we partner with NHS Charities to create bespoke, branded wellbeing boxes that are purposeful, thoughtful, and easy to deliver — whether you need 30 boxes or 3,000.

Each Smile Box is carefully curated to provide a mix of comfort, encouragement and practical self-care, often including:

• soothing wellbeing items (like balms, sleep aids, mindfulness tools)
• feel-good treats and snacks
• positivity cards and uplifting messages
• branded materials to align with your Charity or Trust identity
• optional leaflets and wellbeing tips to extend the impact beyond the unboxing

We always aim for the same outcome:

✅ for the person receiving it to feel truly valued
✅ for the Charity delivering it to feel proud
✅ for the experience to spark real connection and gratitude
