It feels like we’ve blinked and it's October – none of us here at can believe Halloween is just around the corner! 🎃

September saw so many fantastic people and organisations getting involved to support the most amazing projects. We cannot thank you all enough. 👏

⛰️ Local artist LukeHorton Art organised a hiking event to summit Scafell Pike, inviting people from across the country to join him in his fundraising efforts. More than 40 people signed up, and together they raised over £10,000 for the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Jessop Wing Maternity in Sheffield. (Images 1 and 2)

👟 Jason Sykes, who has supported Sheffield Hospitals Charity with 13 races since October 2023, completed the Great North Run, a Three Peaks Hike and the Sheffield 10k in September, bringing his fundraising total to nearly £1300! You can support Jason at his JustGiving page here: https://www.justgiving.com/page/jason-sykes-1693429845558 (Image 3)

🏆 We had a fantastic night for the Closing Ceremony of the Master Cutler’s Challenge, with a final total incoming soon! You can find out the running total and read all about the finale event on the news section of our website. Thank you again to The Company of Cutlers and all the challengers who have made this year's Challenge so special. (Image 4)

🎽 Our Sheffield 10k runners took to the streets of Sheffield – we loved cheering them on (anyone hear us with the megaphone...?!), you made us so proud! (Images 5 and 6)

🧁 handed out cupcakes and cookies from Millie’s Cookies for Meadowhall’s birthday celebration in exchange for donations, raising over £300! (Image 7)

🏰 We were the official charity for the inflatable 5k, and saw some amazing runners taking on the challenge for us over in Bakewell – plenty of impressive bouncing to be seen across the course! (Images 8 and 9)

💙 Ben and Laura raised a phenomenal £3606 for Jessops Bereavement – your fundraising really will make such a difference. Thank you. (Image 10)

Today is - so we wanted to take a moment to celebrate the amazing Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Health and Wellbeing team, whose work we are so proud to fund. Their Wellbeing Trolley, which travels around the hospitals, includes plenty of resources for our amazing NHS colleagues to learn about menopause, and find support if they need it. They've also created an online Menopause and Menstrual Health hub for staff where plenty of information can be found. 💜

The NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board are also hosting today at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Sheffield. The programme for the day include talks on various topics related to menopause, interactive workshops, exercise sessions, support sessions, quizzes, a wide range of stalls and more!

We are so proud to have won the ‘Brand Campaign of the Year’ award at the Sheffield Business Awards last night! We received the award for our immersive strategy launch exhibition, which transformed rooms at both the Trafalgar Warehouse and Millennium Gallery, Sheffield Museums to showcase the difference that supporter donations make to Sheffield’s NHS. 🌟

Our CEO, Beth Crackles, said: “We’re always thinking ‘how can we present our content and key messages in different ways?’ to achieve cut-through in a challenging economic climate, and in a city where there are so many fantastic, much-loved charities.

The Immersive Strategy Launch brought to life 10 areas across our NHS that we fund, from a hyper-realistic manikin for major trauma training to NHS staff wellbeing projects, from game-changing research to palliative care, and from accommodation near neonatal intensive care to cancer support. We did this balancing sensitivity and playfulness; I don’t believe any other charity has given guests the opportunity to try out medical equipment used to extract bone marrow on a watermelon?

We need people to know that supporting Sheffield Hospitals Charity is the best way to directly support the NHS in Sheffield.

The more funds we raise, the more we can direct into life-changing projects. And nothing is more important than the health of those we love.”

Thank you to each and every person who made this possible - we couldn’t do what we do, without you. 💙

Throughout October, we're proud to be able to fund incredible music therapy sessions across our hospitals - all thanks to The Sarah Nulty Power of Music Foundation. Here's a photo taken when they popped in last month for their cheque presentation! 🎶🤩

Music therapy is a wonderful experience for those patients who can be in hospital for weeks or months, bringing something emotive and exciting to what can be an intense acute setting. The musicians also teach patients how to play different instruments, promoting patient movement and cognitive stimulation. 🎻🎹🎺

Thank you so much to the Foundation for this wonderful gift - we are so happy to be able to bring the power of music to people in hospitals across Sheffield. 💙

We're so proud to be able to fund items and support that make a real difference to the staff and patients at the Palliative Care Unit within the Northern General.

💫 Memory making through inkless handprint sessions and special memory boxes. (Image 1)
📚 Books for children to help support through bereavement. (Image 2)

Thank you to all those who have made this work possible.

To mark today, we’re spotlighting the incredible ‘Beneath the Surface’ exhibition currently open at The Circle, which we are deeply proud to have funded. 🎨

The exhibition invites visitors to explore the artistic expressions of those with lived experience of mental health, and those who work in mental health support services. 💙

“The Beneath the Surface art exhibition is a chance for staff, service users, carers and the wider Sheffield community to come together to celebrate creativity, playfulness and self-expression.” - Soo Boswell, Arts in Health Coordinator at Sheffield Health Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust

We were honoured to be invited to the opening event, where colleagues from the charity spoke to two of the artists whose work is exhibited (images 1 and 2) about what ‘Beneath the Surface’ means to them. Thank you to Sheffield Flourish , CAST and Sheffield Health Partnership University NHS FT for curating an exhibition which means so much to so many. ✨
