Grant Saw to support Smile of Hope during 2026/27

Smile of Hope are a Mottingham-based charity dedicated to supporting children with SEND, chronic and severe health conditions. Through carefully designed programmes in music, sport and arts and crafts, they open up education and development opportunities to children who need them most — and to those in general need across South East London.

Ray Crudgington, Managing Partner at Grant Saw, said: "We are proud to support Smile of Hope as our new charity of the year partner for 2026-27. We supported Smile of Hope last Christmas where staff purchased presents for the students of Newhaven School and will support the Autism's Got Talent show this July. Smile of Hope play an integral part in the local community, providing meaningful support to those who need it the most. We look forward to working with Steve, Sandra and the team to raise important funds for initiatives in and around South East London."

Steve Roebuck, Founder and Treasurer at Smile of Hope, said: "The trustees are truly grateful to Grant Saw for selecting us as their charity of the year 2026/27. Having met members of the staff and management, we can see that it is a caring organisation and matches the ethos of Smile Of Hope. We hope to share experiences with them and develop services to help children at their vulnerable moments. Grant Saw has already helped with our SEND initiatives at Newhaven School, and we look forward to enjoying the talent show with them in July."

We look forward to everything the year ahead holds — and to playing a small part in the work Smile of Hope does for children and families across our community.
