Sheffield Children’s NHS Foundation Trust is one of only four dedicated children’s hospital trusts in the UK and provides integrated healthcare for children and young people, including community and mental health care as well as acute and specialist services. We see children from 0-16 in most cases and in some cases up to 18. We provide a full range of services for residents of Sheffield and South Yorkshire as well as specialised services for patients from further afield. The Children's Hospital Charity exists to make an extraordinary hospital even better. We keep our specialist services special; providing the best equipment your money can buy, opening new facilities and funding vital research to change lives tomorrow. We make the clinical more comfortable; transforming the hospital space and adding the little touches that make a big difference to families. Together with all our supporters and staff, we do it for the kids.

💙 Every child who volunteers for research at Sheffield Children’s helps change the future of medicine.

At just 16, Mahn from London knows this first-hand. After being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 2020, he joined a clinical trial at Sheffield Children’s testing a new treatment for young people.

Five years on, Mahn’s sharing his story to inspire others: "Whether or not the drug has helped me, I hope the results from this trial will help more children and people with type 1 diabetes in the future.

“Without clinical research, there wouldn’t be new treatments – it really does change lives and I’m so glad I could be a part of that.”

Clinical trials are a vital piece in the puzzle of creating new treatments. They allow researchers to test new medicines or explore the use of existing medicines in different ways.

There are currently over 300 research studies active at Sheffield Children’s and we are also home to the only NIHR Commercial Research Delivery Centre (CRDC) in the UK dedicated to delivering commercial clinical trials treating children and young people.

🌟 Research turns ideas into progress — and volunteers like Mahn make it possible. Read the full story on our website: www.sheffieldchildrens.nhs.uk/news/taking-part-in-clinical-research-is-helping-build-a-healthier-future-for-everyone/

The award-winning 0-19 Research Network (Yorkshire and Humber), led by Sheffield Children’s NHS Foundation Trust, is using research to improve the health and wellbeing of children and young people across the region.

On 24 October, specialist community public health professionals, including health visitors and school nurses, came together in Sheffield for an event to shape the future of public health research to help keep communities healthy and prevent illness before it happens.

Led by Sheffield Children’s and co-delivered with RDaSH, the event showcased the award-winning 0-19 Research Network, which is empowering frontline professionals to shape public health services through evidence-based practice.

Louise Wolstenholme, co-chair of the Network, and Lead for Research, Education and Development at Sheffield Children’s, said: “It’s fantastic to see how passionately our teams are embracing research to create healthier futures for children, young people and families.”

👏 We’re proud to be leading the way in public health research — and even prouder to be helping create healthier futures for children and young people.

🎉 15 Years of Incredible Volunteering! 🎉

Today we’re celebrating two very special people - Julie and Dennis, who are marking an amazing 15 years of volunteering with Sheffield Children’s Hospital Charity! 💛💙

Since 3 November 2010, this incredible duo has given thousands of hours to support our events, collections, and campaigns, always showing up with warmth, positivity, and a smile for everyone they meet.

From cheering on runners at the Sheffield 10K to manning stalls, holding collection tins, and staying late to help pack down after a long day, they are often the first to arrive and the last to leave, making sure everything runs smoothly.

Julie and Dennis truly are the heart and soul of our volunteer team, and their dedication has made a difference to so many people over the years.

They never ask for recognition, but today we want to say the biggest thank you. Your kindness and commitment mean the world to us, and we’re so lucky to have you as part of the Sheffield Children’s family.

Here’s to 15 amazing years and hopefully many more to come! 💙💛

When baby Hettie was born, her parents knew something wasn’t right. Within hours, she was rushed to Sheffield Children’s for life-saving surgery.

Now, a year later, her family are giving back through the snowflake appeal, helping light up Sheffield and beyond while supporting children’s healthcare and research.

“Sheffield Children’s truly saved our daughter’s life,” says mum Debs. “Gifting a snowflake is our way of saying thank you.”

Remember, remember... these few simple tips to help keep children and young people safe on

💚 Keep a safe distance from bonfires and fireworks and make sure it is always supervised by an adult
💚 Never return to a lit firework or throw them
💚 Do not give sparklers to under 5’s, and keep a bucket of water nearby to put used sparklers in

🥕 You may have seen on social media that placing a sparkler in a carrot makes it safer - but this is not the case. Our Burns Unit has seen many injuries happen while using this method.

If an accident does happen, do you know how to give first aid for burn injuries?

❤ Put affected area under tepid running water for 20 minutes
❤ Apply cling film to affected area
❤ Seek medical advice through 111 or your local Emergency Department

Child Accident Prevention Trust (CAPT) and Children's Burns Trust (CBT) have some wonderful resources including lessons for little ones, where young children can learn to be safe around sparklers:

Each year we’re so grateful for the gifts we receive over the festive period, and this Christmas we’ve made it even easier to find the perfect present with our brand-new Amazon Wishlist! 🎁💙

Giving to Sheffield Children’s is an incredible thing to do and helps to make clinical care kinder and bad days brighter for patients, families, and our hospital staff. The Amazon Wishlist has been created with wards and departments at Sheffield Children’s so you can gift exactly what they need to support their services.

The Wishlist includes gifts for children to take away with them, alongside items that will stay on wards to make visiting Sheffield Children’s even more comfortable and engaging all year round.
Your donations support the charity to fund what NHS budgets can’t, so you might want to give a financial gift this Christmas to help us do even more for patients and families.

Just £17 can fund a music and arts workshop to offer children, families and staff, moments of joy and creativity when they’re needed most.

If you would like to choose and donate your own physical gifts this Christmas, we have a few guidelines on our website to help.

Visit https://sheffieldchildrens.org/Christmas/ to learn more about our Amazon Wishlist and all the other ways you can show your support this festive season.

Spark joy for Sheffield Children’s this Christmas.
