Thanks to your support, we’ve been able to fund another year of therapeutic activities for patients and families in the Princess Royal Spinal Injuries Centre 💙

These activities include arts & crafts, cooking & baking, bingo and games sessions, adapted bike ride, gardening, and even karaoke! 🎤️

These activities have been developed to improve the patients social, psychological and physical wellbeing and enhance their experience at the Spinal Centre. Many of the patients are paralysed, and are attending therapies to build their strength and stamina to regain as much independence as possible. The events also provide patients with the opportunity to engage in celebrations with their family and friends. 🎉🤗

A patient from Osborn 3 said, “What a fantastic way of getting lots of patients and families together. I have such a lovely time with laughter and smiles from everyone. There is always plenty of singing, fun quizzes, and even opportunities to cook or bake for our loved ones. Julie is brilliant with all the activities and we’re so grateful to Sheffield Hospitals Charity for making it happen!”

We’re officially over halfway through the year, and there’s no sign of our fantastic fundraisers slowing down! In June got up to all sorts - golf, mountain climbing, a Fun Day and even a murder mystery. Check out our fundraising roundup below - we can’t thank all of you enough. 💙

⛰️ Conor climbed Snowdon with his football team for the spinal injuries unit – his mum is currently in the rehabilitation centre there, so this was his own special way to give back to the team there. Check out the fantastic photos – it looks like they had an incredible time despite the damp conditions! (Images 1 and 2)

🎽 Charlotte ran the Leeds half marathon with her friend in memory of Paprika, their friend’s little girl. “Jessops provided the family with so much support and we want to fundraise so that they can continue to do this for other families that need them in the future.” (Images 3 and 4)

🕵 Hope and District Independent Theatre (HADIT) ran a brilliant murder mystery event, ‘An Inspector pops in’, with a raffle raising money for our dementia appeal. Looks like it was a fantastic evening! (Image 5)

⛳ All the amazing teams at our Hallamshire Golf Day really helped us go above par with our fundraising total for the day – thank you to each and every person who picked up their golf club, volunteered or sponsored us. The day was a massive success, all thanks to you! (Image 6)

🎪 The lovely team at Scallywags Nursery are always doing amazing things to support us - in June they put on a wonderful Fun Day at the nursery with facepainting, treats and games! (Images 7-9)

🏆 The Master Cutler’s Challenge has been hotting up, with businesses across Sheffield getting busy and doing incredible things to raise money for people living with dementia. Check out our post from the beginning of this week for all the details!

🏪 Thank you to the lovely Claire and Sadia who covered a collection at Tesco Saville Street, organised by community champion Bonnie whose support we are always so grateful for.

👣 Ben Wilkinson completed his ‘Walk4Elsie’ from Doncaster all the way to the Jessop Wing to raise money for bereavement services at Jessops. This impressive feat was a way to fundraise in order to say thank you to the team who helped them have eight beautiful days with their daughter Elsie. What an amazing thing to do, with over £3,700 raised – thank you Ben!

💪 The Defiant Games returned this year. Its wonderful organiser, Ste, had an aneurysm when he was 28 and received amazing care, and now runs the games as a functional fitness competition to raise money for neurology.

Fancy getting involved in some fundraising over the next few months? We’ve got stacks of ideas on our website – coming up next is the Red Shoe Walk on the 3rd of August - a fun day out at Meadowhall with a special walk, entertainment and amazing food and shopping discounts – all raising money for people living with dementia.

Last week, we were proud to fund a wonderful reunion event for families who’ve been supported by Jessop Wing NICU, the ‘teddy bear’s picnic’ - they raffled off a HUGE bear - and there were plenty of cakes eaten and memories shared 💙

Photo 2 is of Chloe, NICU Family Care Nurse, who said:

‘I really enjoyed organising the teddy bear’s picnic for our staff and past NICU families. It was lovely to catch up with them and see the progress they’ve made. I also loved meeting the families I haven’t had opportunity to meet on the unit too, and hear about their experiences.’
