Thanks to a generous donation from John Lewis, The Children’s Hospital Charity officially opened a new playground at the Becton Centre in 2021. The playground was created using recycled beauty products that had been donated by John Lewis customers through the company’s BeautyCycle initiative, making it the first of its kind to be built in this way.
Installed in April, the playground quickly became a favourite among children and young people at the Centre, offering a fun and eco-friendly space to enjoy the outdoors.
Tchad Western, Corporate Partnerships Manager at Sheffield Children’s Hospital Charity, said: “We are incredibly grateful that John Lewis chose Sheffield Children’s to be the setting for this, the first playground of its kind, which has been lovingly created by the recycled donations of their customers. We are sure it will be greatly enjoyed by young patients for years to come and on behalf of all of them, we’d like to say a big thank you.”
