CHARITY snowflakes RAISE OVER £350K NEWLY CROWNED STRICTLY CHAMPION HAMZA YASSIN CONFIRMED FOR SHEFFIELD SHOWS Hundreds of sparkling snowflakes have lit up Sheffield Children’s, with a record-breaking total pledged to the fundraising for a new on-site helipad at the hospital. The Children’s Hospital Charity’s much-loved display, established in 2004, brings people together with a shared goal to build a better future for the staff, patients and the families at Sheffield Children’s. In return for pledging to raise funds, each sponsor sees their snowflake
sparkle on one of our sites, with an attached name tag recognising their contribution for all to see. The money raised will support the fundraising for a new on-site helipad at Sheffield Children’s. The Children’s Hospital Charity have now raised more than two thirds of the projected £6m cost of the helipad. As well as the Western Bank site, snowflakes supporting Sheffield Children’s can also be found on the Becton Centre for Children
and Young People and the Ryegate Children’s Centre. Crystal Peaks Shopping Centre and the Alhambra Shopping Centre in Barnsley have also supported the effort this year. Turning on the snowflakes this year on behalf of One Stop Stores Ltd was three-year-old Margo Taylor. Margo is the daughter of One Stop Community and Partnerships Manager, Jack Taylor, who has overseen an effort to raise more than £7,500 for The Children’s
Hospital Charity, with the total set to raise even further. Jack said: “One Stop stores have been supporting the hospital for five or six years, and the snowflake appeal is one we always love to get behind. Last year, we came to the switch-on and set ourselves a target to raise the most so we could turn on the lights. “The stores have been doing raffles, tombola’s, collection tins on the tillsimple things that have made a big difference. There’s so much passion
for this cause in the community, so in many ways it makes it an easy ask of our customers. “Margo was very excited all afternoon, it was great to bring her along. She was mesmerised by all the lights and couldn’t believe she had turned them on. She’s passionate about the mascot Theo, sleeping with her bear every night and the cause already resonates with her. She’s certainly a young fundraiser in the making, she’s just as passionate as we are. Story continues on Page 8
