John Armstrong
Chief Executive

I’m delighted to lead the fantastic team here at The Children’s Hospital Charity. Thanks to the hard work of the team, and through the generosity, passion and enthusiasm of our supporters, we are able to help Sheffield Children’s to deliver the very best care for patients, as well as being able to help enhance the patient environment to make it as welcoming and homely for children and their families. The part of the role that I find incredibly rewarding is being able to share with donors the stories about patients that have been helped thanks to the funds that they have raised. It is thanks to their support we are able to help so many patients each year in so many different ways, and I look forward to meeting as many of our supporters as possible to say a personal thank you!
