PolVita donates €10,825 to Le Rire Médecin and Cliniclowns
Since 2019, Pollet has been supporting hospital clown associations by donating a portion of its turnover on PolVita products. Through Le Rire Médecin and the Cliniclowns, we help children in hospital by allowing them to escape for a game, a lullaby or a bit of poetry.
Thanks to your purchases of PolVita products in 2022, €8,000 was donated to Le Rire Médecin in France and in Belgium, €2,825 was donated to the Cliniclowns association. Thank you all so much!
At Le Rire Médecin, a donation of €30 is equivalent to a visit from a clown duo. Therefore, 360 children will receive a moment of magic in hospital.
The benefits of hospital clowns
Every year, these non-profit organisations set up projects to support children in hospital and those around them.
Hospital clowns can visit in a variety of ways:
- Visits to children’s rooms in hospital
- Visits to the homes of children who are bedridden for long periods of time
Visits by hospital clowns have several benefits, for children, parents and carers alike:
- Soothing children and distracting them from their pain
- Combating the anxiety of children in hospital
- Support parents through this difficult family ordeal
- Recreate moments of happiness and sharing as a family
- Offering care staff moments to unwind
- Facilitate the administration of care
By donating to Le Rire Médecin and the Cliniclowns, you are therefore supporting everyone involved in childcare.
