Pod Children's Charity (registered as Pod Charitable Trust no: 279743)[1] is a British non-profit organisation, which provides live entertainment for children in hospital and hospices throughout the UK.

[2] Pod Children's Charity was founded in 1977 by David Jamilly, after he organized small parties with music and entertainment for children and noticed a positive effect which those have on them.

[5] Pod employs professional children's entertainers, such as puppeteers, clowns and musicians, who perform in the playroom, on the ward or at the bedside.

[6][7] Pod aims to alleviate the trauma of hospital stay by sowing the seeds of fun, laughter and feeling better.

[8] The League of Friends of The POD Charitable Trust (Charity no: 296119) is an entirely separate organisation, which covers all of Pod Charitable Trust’s administrative costs.
