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.

A hospital stay can feel overwhelming for the tiniest patients.

Just £10 can help provide four babies on our Neonatal Surgical Unit with soft blankets to make their space feel safer and more soothing.

The snowflakes at St John’s Church are officially switched on, our final switch-on of the year! ❄✨

What a beautiful way to wrap up this season of light and generosity.

A huge thank you to everyone who has gifted a snowflake at this site - your kindness is shining brightly for the children, young people and families we support.

Tonight, we also want to give a massive thank you to Sheffield Wednesday mascot Ozzy and our own Theo for bringing so much joy to the celebration, as well as every stall holder and volunteer who helped make the evening feel festive and full of community spirit.

To St John’s - thank you for welcoming us so warmly and hosting such a special final switch-on of the year. Your support means more than you know.

Together, we’ve lit up Sheffield with hope, love and Christmas magic and over £437,000 has been pledged, the most ever! 💛🎄✨

It’s Santa calling! 🎅🏼

Children and young people at Sheffield Children’s Hospital had the chance to speak to Father Christmas (and send in any last-minute present requests!) thanks to a direct connection to his North Pole Grotto set up by the Cisco Santa team!

With Christmas right around the corner, Santa spread festive cheer throughout the day, sang many of our favourite Christmas carols and even made sure that each patient left with a wonderful gift with the help of his extraordinary elves.

Thanks to everyone involved in connecting us to Santa, and making it a magical event for our patients and families.

We’re delighted that an incredible £437,293.45 has been pledged across our snowflakes sites this year - the most we’ve ever had! How amazing is that?!

Milo has received care at Sheffield Children's throughout his life, under the care of many teams and departments, for Down's syndrome and complex health conditions.

The charity team has seen Milo on several of his hospital stays. During his visits, he often experiences calming and engaging musical performances provided by our charity-funded music and arts programme, Art+.

🎄McClure Christmas at Sheffield Children’s!🎄

We were delighted to welcome Sheffield Children's Hospital Charity ambassadors Jon McClure, lead singer and frontman of Sheffield-made band Reverend and the Makers and Chris McClure, AKA Assistant Manager of Royal Oak FC, Steve Bracknall!

Guitar in hand, Jon was joined by Chris on vocals as the brothers broke out the Christmas classics on the ward and in our outpatients department. They also chatted with children, young people, their families and staff in the hospital, reflecting on the time they’ve spent in hospital themselves and compared music playlists. To finish, they featured as special guests in a festive ward sing-a-long, a musical feature on our wards which is organised regularly by Sheffield Children’s Hospital Charity’s arts programme, Art+.

Art+ use the engaging and uplifting power of art to improve the clinical environment and experience at Sheffield Children’s for our young patients, their families, and staff. Part of their work provides inclusive and creative workshops, led by professional artists and musicians - just like the one Chris and Jon joined.

This Christmas, your support can help fund arts and music workshops like this that bring creativity, calm, and engagement to the hospital environment.

Thank you Jon and Chris for kicking off our festive visits!

Today is Giving Tuesday, and we’d love your support! 💙

This Christmas, your donations can support our arts programme, .artplus, in providing joyful and engaging art and music workshops for patients.

One of many wonderful projects Art+ are running is the brand-new festive cinema club. Yesterday, they held their first screening where our elves welcomed some young patients to a viewing of Home Alone.

Just £17 can fund an arts or music workshop for a child. These workshops give patients a chance to try new things and experience joyful or calming moments during what can be difficult times.

Help us to spark joy this festive season by donating to our Art+ programme at the link in our bio!
