Amelia Mather-Peck

Art+ Programmer

As one of the Art+ Programmers at Sheffield Children’s Hospital Charity, I love bringing creativity and joyful experiences into the hospital through lots of different art forms. I love art and truly believe in its power to uplift, distract, and create memorable moments. I joined Sheffield Children’s Hospital Charity as I wanted to help bring children opportunities to express themselves, feel joy, and connect through art – even during tough times. Every child deserves that kind of magic.

Suzanne Dinwoodie

Philanthropy Officer

As a mum of 3 kids who have all been in Sheffield Children’s Hospital at some point, some times more serious than others, I have always felt the need to give back to Sheffield Children’s, so when the opportunity came to work at the charity I jumped at it and haven’t looked back since! Whilst I get to work some incredible events, one of my favourite parts of the job is when I go in the hospital to do tours etc with our supporters – it really makes me feel proud to see the impact the charity and our supporter’s donations have on the Hospital and it reminds me why we work so hard doing what we do to make a difference to patients and families at the hospital.

Harriet Clark

Corporate Fundraising Manager

I spent the first 20 years of my working life teaching in a number of secondary schools in and around Sheffield.  I loved it. However, having taken a 3 years sabbatical to look after my son after he was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia, when his treatment came to an end it felt like it was time to do something different.  Throughout his time at Sheffield Children’s Hospital we saw first-hand the amazing care offered by the wonderful professionals who work there and gained a small understanding of how the charity can make a difference to patients and their families so when the opportunity came to work for the charity, I grabbed it!  I feel very privileged to work with so many fantastic supporters who all have their reasons for wanting to make a difference and with a brilliant team to support all the amazing things that Sheffield Children’s are committed to delivering!

Courtney Hunt

Community Fundraising Officer

When I was young, I had a serious problem where my kidney stopped growing, which caused me a lot of pain. I was brought to Sheffield Children’s Hospital to have an operation and my kidney was removed; I was only 5! I still remember a bit of the amazing treatment from the hospital staff, but mostly I remember how grateful (and relieved) my mum was when everything went well, and how the staff treated my family through a stressful situation. I owe Sheffield Children’s my life and I am very grateful that I can give back by working at this amazing charity.

Kit Huen

Creative Commissioner

Art lets us cast our gaze beyond the moment. More than an object, it is a machine to change experience. It is a presence to host, to build trust, and to be very soft to children and their families. Connecting artists and creatives together to reimagine the visual thinking space is both a passionate and fulfilling role for me. It is also my way of giving back to the community.

As a team we hear so many truly inspiring stories. One fun one was the X-Ray department screening toys which were donated. What they discovered was the children were much happier having their own X-rays once they’d seen their toys were okay.
