Getting into the party spirit! 🎁
The Sheffield Children’s month-long Festival of Fun is in full swing, and children, young people and staff members across our sites have been busy crafting with @liah.edwardes , creating colourful paper crowns and (most importantly) celebrating our 150th birthday!
The festival, delivered in partnership with Art+, the arts programme funded by Sheffield Children’s Hospital Charity, has been designed to help us make sure that the people we care for are at the heart of our celebrations.
Here are some fun moments from an action-packed first week.

It might be autumn, but the leaves at Sheffield Children’s have been turning red for a different reason ❤️
Members of the Sheffield Children’s Youth Forum welcomed visitors from the Sheffield United Community Foundation to Sheffield Children’s Hospital, as they gave away 50 free saplings to children, young people, families and colleagues as part of the Red Roots programme.
The event created plenty of excitement in the Joy Garden at Sheffield Children’s Hospital, with the representatives from the Youth Forum, Sustainability team and Sheffield United Community Foundation giving away all 50 trees within a single hour. Now planning for their next giveaway event, the group is aiming to give away an additional 100 trees, taking their total to 150 trees to celebrate 150 years of outstanding care at Sheffield Children’s.
What better way to mark our 150th birthday than by giving our community a gift they can keep hold of for generations to come?

Roll up, roll up - let the festivities begin! 🎪
The Sheffield Children’s Festival of Fun which is celebrating our 150th birthday kicked off in style this week, with performers spreading joy with activities and workshops galore. Children and young people across Sheffield Children’s were able to get in on the fun, joining in with circus workshops delivered by @poppins_presents , party songs with @holly_marland , @harpweddings and more!
The Sheffield Children’s Festival of Fun is being delivered in partnership with Art+, the Sheffield Children’s Hospital Charity-funded arts team. They help Sheffield Children’s go beyond what NHS funding can provide by offering workshops and performances that promote wellbeing and creativity.
We’re so excited to celebrate all through November! Keep an eye out to see what we’re getting up to as part of the festival over the coming month.

Sheffield Children’s has been a part of this family’s story for generations! 💛
From delivering life-saving treatment during the Second World War to caring for the next generation decades later, the hospital has supported the family through some of life’s most challenging moments, creating a connection that continues to this day.
As Sheffield Children’s marks its 150th year, their family’s story spans more than half of that remarkable history.
Swipe to find out more about how we’ve supported each of them over the last 80 years…
At the heart of that story is 91-year-old Maureen Walsh. In 1942, when Maureen was just seven years old, her life changed forever. A serious scalding accident left her with devastating burns across much of her upper body and face.
“The doctors said that she wasn’t expected to survive the night,” recalls Maureen’s daughter, Patricia.
Against the odds, Maureen did survive. What followed was eight years of treatment at Sheffield Children’s, including a series of pioneering plastic surgery procedures that would transform her future.
Today, the family’s connection to Sheffield Children’s continues through fundraising 💛
For the past eight years, Patricia has supported Sheffield Children’s Hospital Charity’s Snowflake Appeal, dedicating a snowflake each Christmas in honour of the care her family has received across generations.
From a young girl whose life was saved during wartime, to her grandson receiving care from the very same consultant decades later, it is a story that reflects the lasting impact Sheffield Children’s has had on generations of children and families.
“Sheffield Children’s has always been there for us,” says Patricia. “The treatment was incredible, but it’s the kindness we’ve never forgotten.

This November we turn 150 years old!
We started with small numbers, but now see hundreds of thousands of patients from Sheffield, South Yorkshire and beyond, each year! We are proud to support children not just in a moment of need, but throughout their entire health and care journey, be that in hospital, school or at home, with kindness, expertise, and unwavering commitment.
Check out our latest year in numbers, and comment below if you have a memory to share 💙

We’re turning 150 this month! 🎉
That means that this time 150 years ago, Sheffield Children’s was gearing up to open its doors to the public for the very first time. Whilst we’re still a few weeks away from our big day, we just couldn’t wait to start celebrating.
All throughout November, we’re bringing a wave of activities, performances and workshops to children and young people accessing care across our sites as part of our ‘Festival of Fun’. Supported by @team.artplus , @sheffchildrenshospitalcharity ‘s dedicated arts programme, we’re making sure that the people we care for are at the heart of our celebrations.
Coming along with us on this ride will be plenty of Sheffield-based institutions and performers to inspire creativity in all forms from sensory circus to illustration, and making music to making moves - we’ve got heaps going on!
For 150 years Sheffield Children’s purpose has remained the same: to create healthier futures for children and young people. Generations of families have trusted us with taking care of their children, and play has long been a key part of how we do that. Now, as part of our 150th birthday celebrations, we hope that the ‘Festival of Fun’ will inspire children and young people to build relationships, develop skills and find joy whilst receiving outstanding care.
From live theatre to crafting, musical performances to birthday celebrations, we hope that there is something for all of our children, young people and families to enjoy.
Look out for more updates throughout November! 💛

Let’s go back to the beginning💛
150 years ago this month, Sheffield Children’s opened our doors to the public for the very first time.
We began as a small charitable hospital that cared for 29 inpatients during our first year, and we have evolved a national leader in children’s healthcare, providing specialist integrated physical and mental health services for children and young people across Sheffield, South Yorkshire and increasingly beyond.
And we’re not stopping there – we’ve recently opened up our newest building – The Spark, home of the National Centre for Child Health Technology
Come and celebrate with us at The Spark for our 150th birthday celebrations, taking place on Saturday 14 November.

As we celebrate 150 years of @sheffieldchildrens and 50 years of our charity, we’re shining a spotlight on the extraordinary people who have been part of our history. This week, we’re celebrating Dr Helen Stewart, Consultant in Paediatric Emergency Medicine at Sheffield Children’s – and if you’ve got a copy of our Pride of Yorkshire book, you might recognise her! 💙
Helen has been a passionate supporter of the Pride of Yorkshire sculpture trail, which brought 150 life-sized lion sculptures to communities across South Yorkshire this summer. The trail played an important role in kickstarting our appeal to raise £6.3 million towards the £20 million redevelopment of the Emergency Department. Thanks to everyone who got involved, our Pride of Yorkshire auctions, private sales and prize draws have so far raised a fantastic £575,000 towards the appeal! 🦁
The current Emergency Department was designed for around 24,000 patients a year but now cares for around 62,000 children and young people annually. The redevelopment will create a calmer, more welcoming environment, with improved privacy, dedicated spaces for children with additional needs and better facilities for the incredible NHS teams delivering life-changing care every day.
For Helen, it’s “a once-in-a-generation opportunity to transform the Emergency Department and create a space that is fit for the future.” As we look ahead to the next 150 years of caring together, your support is helping us create healthier futures for children and young people 💙

Really proud to share this collaboration today 💙
Last year, I was introduced to the incredible work being led by Sheffield Children’s NHS Foundation Trust, the Royal College of Anaesthetists, the Centre for Perioperative Care and the Association of Paediatric Anaesthetists.
I learned more about the support being provided to children living with excess weight and obesity, helping them prepare for surgery while encouraging healthier habits that can benefit them long into the future.
One of the people I met was Dr Zoe Burton, who shared a simple but powerful message:
“We know that physical activity is a fundamental pillar of both physical and mental health. For all children, but particularly those living with excess weight, increasing physical activity and reducing sedentary time can have huge benefits, both now and in the future.”
I recently visited Sheffield to meet the team and see their work in action and together we created a series of short, fun and accessible videos designed to help children and their families feel more confident about getting active and building healthy habits before and after surgery.
It’s been a wonderful example of what can be achieved when healthcare professionals, patients and organisations come together with a shared goal: helping children become fitter, stronger and healthier for life.
I hope these videos are helpful for anyone that might need them 💙 You can find the whole series on my YouTube channel.

Time to get warmed up!
The Body Coach Joe Wicks @thebodycoach recently came to Sheffield Children’s to record a special series of videos – but you’ll have to wait until tomorrow to hear more about that!
While he was here, Joe met some of the children and young people staying with us and learnt about the care we provide here. After chatting to some of the families, Joe was even presented with a little keepsake bracelet by 9-year-old Ted!
Of course, we couldn't miss out on the chance to ask him to lead everyone – children, families and colleagues – in a quick afternoon workout to get those hearts pumping! We’re all about creating healthier futures here and what better way to live that vision by getting moving all together.
Thanks for coming, Joe!

Textures hold a thousand memories 🕰️
Over the years, we’ve cared for entire families, each with their own unique stories spanning generations. We’re proud to have played a part in so many of these stories across Sheffield, South Yorkshire and beyond.
Like the families that we see, these textures have their own stories. From century-old brick to brand new facilities at our newest building: The Spark, each of these textures form the building blocks of who we are for the past 150 years.
So, from us to you, thank you for letting us be a part of your story.
In just under one month, we’ll be celebrating 150 years of delivering outstanding care in Sheffield, South Yorkshire and beyond. That’s 150 years of innovation, groundbreaking research and outstanding care.
If you’d like to celebrate with us, you can pick up your free tickets to our birthday party, taking place at The Spark, at the Olympic Legacy Park on Saturday 14 November.
