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.

As it's our birthday week, we're looking back at some of the amazing things our charity supporters have helped fund. Recently we opened the £6 million helipad, and it was instrumental in getting 12-year-old Frankie the urgent care he needed after being seriously injured in a road accident.

Frankie was just 12 when he was hit by a car on his way home from school. Thanks to the quick response of emergency services, the air ambulance, and our charity-funded helipad, he was flown straight to Sheffield Children’s Hospital where specialist teams were ready and waiting.

Frankie had sustained a serious brain injury and multiple fractures, and his family faced an incredibly uncertain time. But just days later, he began to respond – even playing Connect 4 from his hospital bed. After a week in hospital, Frankie was well enough to return home, and today he’s back at school and playing football with his friends 💙💛

His dad, Tim, later ran the Yorkshire Marathon to raise money for Sheffield Children’s Hospital Charity, determined to give back and help other families facing similar moments.

Stories like Frankie’s are only possible thanks to the generosity of our supporters. The helipad has already helped ensure children across the region can access life-saving care quickly when every second counts.

Every Thursday morning, the kitchen at Ryegate fills with the smell of freshly baked sourdough bread.

Three loaves sit on the counter, each one part of Laura’s Loaf - a beautiful way colleagues remember a much-loved friend while supporting children and families.

Laura was an occupational therapist who spent 14 years helping autistic children and young people with additional needs. She was known for her kindness, creativity, and fierce dedication to doing what was right.

After being diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer in 2022, Laura found comfort in something small but meaningful: sourdough bread. Gentle, nourishing, and something she could enjoy during treatment - often with her young son.

So her colleague Jenny baked for her every week.

What started as a simple act of care became something much bigger.

After Laura sadly passed away in 2024, the baking didn’t stop. Instead, it grew into Laura’s Loaf - with friends, colleagues, and neighbours donating to charity for a loaf, sharing memories, and staying connected.

Now, in Sheffield Children's 150th year, each week Jenny bakes loaves to raise funds for Sheffield Children’s Hospital Charity - supporting the very therapy services Laura helped shape.

“It was never really about the bread… it gave people a way to do something when they didn’t know what else to do. Sometimes, the simplest things - flour, water, salt - can carry the greatest meaning.” - Jenny

Laura’s kindness lives on, one loaf at a time. Read more about Laura's sroty here sheffieldchildrens.org/news/lauras-loaf

For 50 years, thanks to your support, we’ve been able to fund world-class equipment, pioneering research, and engaging environments built with children in mind.

It’s our charity's birthday today! 🎉💙

Sheffield Children’s Hospital Charity is celebrating 50 years of making a difference - funding care, comfort, and innovation that goes beyond what the NHS can provide. From world-class equipment and pioneering research to creating welcoming, child-friendly spaces, your support has helped transform care for thousands of children and families.

This milestone comes in a landmark year for Sheffield Children’s NHS Foundation Trust, which celebrates 150 years of care in 2026. Together, we’ve shown what’s possible when a community comes together to support children and young people - from everyday comforts to major developments, such as the state-of-the-art helipad and the transformation of the Haematology and Oncology ward.

Thank you to everyone who has been part of our journey - donors, fundraisers, partners, volunteers, staff, and families. Here’s to 50 years of making the difference together, and to many more ahead 💛

Do something egg-stra for Sheffield Children's this Easter!📣🏍️

Theo's Egg Run is back two weeks today on Sunday 5 April. Spend your Easter with us and help make the difference for Sheffield Children's.

Two-time world superbike champion and charity patron TOSELAND will lead hundreds of bikers through the city to Weston Park, opposite our hospital. Supporters can help raise even more for the charity by entering a raffle to win the chance to be up front for this year's Egg Run, riding pillion with James!

This year, the event will support the eye department at Sheffield Children’s, funding specialist equipment to make eye tests easier for children and young people.

Theo's Egg Run has been a staple of the charity calendar for more than 25 years, and in that time, it has raised over £110,000 to help make clinical care kinder and bad days brighter at Sheffield Children's.

Whether you want to join the cavalcade or you'd rather come and cheer them on, everyone is welcome to join us from 8am for bikers or 10am for supporters.

Thank you to long-time supporter and event organiser Michael Peat for always making sure Theo's Egg Run is cracking!

Yesterday, we shared a thank you message to everyone who donated to our 2025 Christmas appeal, helping us to raise over £17,900 for research at Sheffield Children's.

You might remember that Charlotte's inspiring story was part of our appeal, and today, during our milestone year celebrating 150 years of Sheffield Children's and 50 years of our charity, we're re-sharing that story.

When Charlotte was just three years old, as part of her treatment for Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA), she received a routine eye test at Sheffield Children’s. The test revealed she has a condition called uveitis, which often goes hand-in-hand with JIA and is symptomless in children. It could have led to permanent sight loss.

However, thanks to expert care at Sheffield Children's, today, she has almost perfect vision.

Charlotte's mum, Jenny, said: “The care we received was beyond anything we could have hoped for. The team at Sheffield Children’s didn’t just treat Charlotte, they cared for her as a person. They anticipated each step, prepared us for the challenges, and supported us through every setback.”

Thank you! 💙

The final total is in, and our 2025 Christmas Appeal has raised over £17,900 for research at Sheffield Children’s.

At Sheffield Children’s Hospital Charity, one area we’re especially proud to support is research and innovation. It’s not a bolt-on at Sheffield Children’s - it’s part of how lives are improved every single day, driven by curiosity, evidence and real-world impact.

Because of your support, we’re able to fund even more groundbreaking projects, including the work of our uveitis team, helping children like Charlotte - now and for generations to come.

And with our commitment to funding £1 million for research every year until 2030, support like yours is helping shape the future of children’s healthcare, here in South Yorkshire and far beyond.

To say thank you, the uveitis team has recorded this special message. Together we make the difference 💙
