Meadowhall launches charity gift card with local artist to support Weston Park
The centre has introduced a new special-edition gift card sleeve, available for £1, with all proceeds donated directly to the Sheffield-based charity
Meadowhall is supporting its charity of the year, Weston Park Cancer Charity, through a limited-edition gift card initiative designed by local artist Matt Cockayne, raising funds for people affected by cancer across South Yorkshire.
The centre has introduced a new special-edition gift card sleeve, available for £1, with all proceeds donated directly to the Sheffield-based charity.
The design has been created by South Yorkshire artist Matt Cockayne, whose distinctive style is inspired by local landscapes and communities.
Shoppers can pick up the new gift card sleeve from Meadowhall’s Customer Hub at the Oasis entrance or the Shopmobility desk at the Lower High Street entrance, helping visitors to give back while buying gifts for friends and family.
The launch forms part of Meadowhall’s 2026 charity of the year partnership with Weston Park Cancer Charity and follows a series of recent fundraising activities at the centre.
Earlier this month, Meadowhall hosted the charity’s Easter ‘Bunny Hop Egg-stravaganza’ which raised more than £4,600 for Weston Park Cancer Charity. The family-friendly event invited visitors to take part in activities including a giant Easter egg guessing game, with prizes up for grabs, while also offering the chance to learn more about local support services such as complementary therapies and transport for patients.
Darren Pearce, centre director at Meadowhall, said: “We know how much our visitors value supporting local causes, and this is a simple way to make a real difference. Weston Park Cancer Charity does incredible work across the region, and we’re proud to be working together throughout the year to support people affected by cancer.”
Bekah Anstey, Senior Corporate Partnership Manager at Weston Park Cancer Charity, said: “Every pound raised stays local, helping us provide essential support to people and families across South Yorkshire, North Derbyshire and Bassetlaw. From emotional support to practical help like free transport to hospital appointments for cancer treatment, initiatives like this make a meaningful difference, and we’re incredibly grateful to Meadowhall and its shoppers for their continued support.”
Weston Park Cancer Charity supports thousands of people every year, funding free services, treatment enhancements and pioneering research at Weston Park Cancer Centre in Sheffield.
Meadowhall has supported the charity since 2023, including funding a shuttle bus to help patients travel to and from appointments, and hosting the charity’s Big Purple Bus to bring cancer information and advice directly into the community.
