Family fun day to bring community spirit to Sheffield
Families across Sheffield are invited to a fun day supporting the Dragonfly Cancer Trust on Saturday, July 4.
The event runs from 11am to 4pm at Kenwood Hall Hotel, Sheffield. Entry is £2 for adults and £1 for children, with all proceeds aiding Dragonfly Cancer Trust's work with young cancer patients. The day features live entertainment, games, food, stalls, and outdoor activities in Kenwood Hall's grounds. Attractions include a woodland trail, raffle, tombola, and local goods stalls. A bar and food will also be available.
A highlight is the “Beat the Goalie” football challenge, with Sheffield United Community Foundation. Participants can test their skills against Elaha, goalkeeper for the Afghanistan Women’s National Team and Doncaster Belles. Elaha said: “I am really happy to be supporting Dragonfly Cancer Trust at their Summer Fun Day by taking part in the Beat the Goalie challenge.” She added: “The work Dragonfly Cancer Trust does for young people and their families is truly inspiring and I am proud to be part of the event.”
Live music will be provided by singer Amy Jean, aiming to create an uplifting atmosphere. Amy Jean, 29, said: “Singing is my passion, I love connecting with people especially at my gigs where music really does bring everyone together.” Stanley’s Entertainment, with Craig, will offer family-friendly magic, games, dancing, and comedy. The Village Green will supply traditional garden games like Coconut Shy, Hoop Toss, and Giant Jenga.
Natalie Hickinbottom, Regional Fundraiser for Dragonfly Cancer Trust, said: “We are incredibly excited to welcome families to our Summer Family Fun Day at Kenwood Hall.” She explained the event brings the community together, raising vital funds and awareness for supported children, young people, and families. Dragonfly Cancer Trust helps those up to 25 with life-limiting cancer by creating precious memories. Ms Hickinbottom added: “Their generosity helps us create a brilliant day for local families while continuing our work supporting families when they need it most.”
The Summer Family Fun Day is open to all, encouraging community spirit for a meaningful cause. For more information, contact Natalie Hickinbottom at [email protected] or 07897182135.
