In October 2023, six-year-old Teddy Kelly was diagnosed with high-risk neuroblastoma, a rare and aggressive type of cancer. Sadly, Teddy died just six months later.
Following his diagnosis, Teddy experienced long stays at Sheffield Children’s Hospital; but thanks to vital fundraising from kind people like you, during his stays Teddy was able to find joy in the art and music workshops provided by The Children’s Hospital Charity’s arts programme, Art+.
Art+ workshops helped the Kelly family create a treasure trove of happy memories in the most difficult time. From ‘Rhyme Labs’ to electronic music workshops, Teddy’s family is incredibly grateful for the pieces of art that they now have to remember him.
Just £17 can pay for 2 Art+ Workshops
With a £17 donation, you can fund two Art+ workshops for children at Sheffield Children’s Hospital, offering moments of happiness and relief during their treatment. For children like Teddy, these sessions brought joy and created precious memories. Your support can bring that same happiness to other children in need today.
Bringing joy, easing anxiety, and brightening lives is possible thanks to donors supporting The Children’s Hospital Charity.
Just £17 can fund two Art+ workshops, with Abbey Forged Products match-funding donations up to £15K this Christmas!
Art+ helps Sheffield Children’s feel welcoming, transforming clinical spaces into calm, uplifting areas. Your support keeps this vital work going.
Our workshops help children socialise, express themselves, and have fun in the clinical environment.
Art+ enhances the hospital experience for young patients at Sheffield Children’s Hospital, offering creative workshops, vibrant art installations, and interactive activities. By transforming clinical spaces and providing positive, memorable experiences, Art+ helps children and families find moments of joy and comfort even during the toughest times.
