Secret garden underway…
We are delighted to announce that work on our second and biggest outdoor health and well-being area is now firmly underway. The Sheffield Hospitals Charity Secret Garden Project, located just off the Vickers Corridor will offer staff and patients an outdoor sanctuary at the heart of the Northern General Hospital.
Gareth Aston CEO Sheffield Hospitals Charity said “It is great to see the building work moving on this vital space for staff to spend time outdoors. The Secret Garden comes off the back of the charity’s refurbishment of the Western Park Cancer Hospital roof top garden, which has proven hugely beneficial to staff.” Once complete the charity will be looking for keen gardeners to help support the ongoing development of the garden, if you are interested in being a part of this then email charity@shct.nhs.uk.
City taxi thank you NHS Ball – a night to remember
We would like to thank everyone who attended and supported our inaugural Gala Ball. It was incredible for us to see the love and support from so many who gathered to give thanks to our wonderful NHS Staff.
We raised a staggering £140,000 from the evening, with guests enjoying performances from Martin Kemp, the culinary delights of Jean-Christophe Novelli and the hosting talents of Sheffield’s very own Dan Walker. Funds raised from the event will go to the Sheffield Hospitals Charity “We’ve Got You” Campaign, dedicated to support the mental health and well being of our NHS staff across the Sheffield Teaching Hospitals. Throughout the evening a range of awards were presented to staff recognising the efforts, sacrifices and resilience of some incredible teams and individuals.
