Making Easter egg-stra special again at Sheffield Children’s

I am excited to help make Easter memorable for the young patients at Sheffield Children’s this year with the help of our wonderful supporters.

We always receive very generous donations of Easter eggs and other confectionary items from businesses, community groups and individuals, and I’m sure this year will be no different. I know lots of places have already been collecting for us – thank you so much!

Last year, we received so many generous donations at Easter. This year, I know our supporters will be out in force once again

If you’re planning to drop off some Easter treats, please do so by Tuesday, March 31, to make sure we can distribute them all on time for the weekend. Please get in touch with me at [email protected] or call 0114 399 7991 to book a drop-off appointment.

Sometimes, chocolate and edible treats aren’t suitable for our patients, so we also accept donations of arts and crafts materials for bedside activity packs. Alternatively, we have an Amazon Wishlist made up of items requested directly by teams across Sheffield Children’s.

When you order from the Wishlist, your gift will be delivered straight to the hospital and passed on to the ward or department that asked for it. Visit our website at sheffieldchildrens.org/wishlist to find out more.

Finally, I want to mention that Egg Run will once again be taking place on Easter Sunday.

It’s organised by our dedicated supporter Michael Peat and his family and is supported by our charity patron, James Toseland. This year, they’re funding two exciting new pieces of specialist equipment for Sheffield Children’s that help clinicians quickly and comfortably screen children’s eyesight and spot potential vision problems early.

The cavalcade of motorcyclists will ride from Europa Way to Weston Park, where there will be stalls, refreshments and an opportunity to celebrate Easter Sunday with the motorcyclists and our charity.

Your generosity during this Easter season helps us to fund the extras that make a big difference to the thousands of patients and families at Sheffield Children’s. Thank you.
