Teddies Bright Horizons Nursery is excited to announce that they have raised £1,608.76 for Sheffield Children's Hospital in an ongoing fundraising marathon, surpassing their initial goal of £1,250. This contribution will sponsor a snowflake that will light up the hospital during the festive season. The team at Teddies, along with the children and their families, have been dedicated to supporting the hospital, which plays a crucial role in their community.
As part of the hospital's annual snowflake campaign, these twinkling lights not only brighten the hospital during the holidays but also help raise essential funds for the life-changing care provided by Sheffield Children's Hospital.
"We are overwhelmed by the support we've received," said Nursery Manager Claire. "We’re so proud to sponsor a snowflake this year, and it’s heartwarming to see the children get so excited about the events. They understand that while the children in the hospital lead different lives, they still share the same playful and mischievous spirit!"
The Sheffield Children’s Hospital holds a special place in the heart of one family in particular. Jodie, a Teddies parent, expressed deep gratitude for the hospital's support since her daughter was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes in September 2023, at just 19 months old. She highlighted the exceptional collaborative efforts between the hospital and Teddies Nursery to ensure her daughter thrives.
“The Sheffield Children's Hospital has been a lifeline,” said Jodie. “Their diabetes team has worked closely with Teddies, even coming in on site to provide staff training. Thanks to their support, our daughter is flourishing and enjoying her time like any two-year-old.”
