14 . Funding art experiences for children being treated at Sheffield Children's Hospital - May 2020



This week we sent £100 to Artfelt at the Sheffield Children’s Hospital. Artfelt transforms the hospital’s walls and spaces with bright art, helping children recover in an environment tailored to them. In normal times the programme puts on workshops for youngsters to provide distraction during anxious moments - such as before an operation and to break up long stays on the ward.


Unfortunately because of Covid-19, Artfelt is unable to deliver its workshops right now, but of course the hospital is still open and children are still there, receiving care and Artfelt are working hard to ensure they continue to reach out and provide comfort to them. As with so many of these small local charities, this is a very difficult time for fundraising and we are pleased to be able to put something towards their work.
We are sending £100 towards their ‘Artfelt Anywhere’ initiative, providing art activity packs to patients in hospital whilst they are unable to facilitate their usual workshop activity.
