St Luke's - Sheffield's Hospice

29/10/2026

This we're thanking Simran, Adam and Beth from Sills & Betteridge Solicitors for taking on our Sheffield 10K Corporate Challenge on Sunday 27 September 2026.

The team raised £305 to support our care, and their reasons for taking part perfectly capture what the challenge is all about: teamwork, personal achievement and making a difference.

"I've been getting into running to improve my general health and fitness, and to learn to appreciate the quiet moments with myself," said Wills & Probate Executive, Simran Roy. "The chance to test that in a fun race with my co-workers while also supporting a beloved local charity was too good of an opportunity to miss!"

And the support from Sills & Betteridge doesn't stop there! Colleagues have also joined us at our October St Luke's Quiz Night, sponsored a hole at our St Luke's Golf Day, supported Will Month, and generously donated raffle prizes. We're incredibly grateful for their continued support and look forward to continuing this partnership ❤️

This is a reminder that from this Saturday (31 October), donations will no longer be accepted at our St Luke's Donation Centre in Fieldhouse Way. Please read the post below for more details.

🛍️ Update from our Retail Team: We're changing the way we do things

To help us work more sustainably and efficiently, and to make the best use of our resources as a charity, we have made the decision to close our St Luke's Donation Centre at Fieldhouse Way.

From Saturday 31 October, donations will no longer be accepted at the Donation Centre. Instead, supporters with larger loads of donations can drop them off at our dedicated donation hubs at our Crookes, Crystal Peaks and Kilner Way shops.

You can still donate to any of our St Luke's shops on their designated donation days. Visit our website for details of your nearest shop and donation times.

This change means you will be able to donate and browse our shops in a single visit, while helping us reduce costs and operate more efficiently.

Thank you for your continued generosity. Every donation helps us continue caring for people and families across our community.

👀 P.S. Keep an eye on our social media channels for an exciting announcement coming very soon!

"We're all going to die at some point or another, but if you experience St Luke's care - there's no need to be frightened."

In 2024, Irene Sheldon was diagnosed with a tumour in her oesophagus, just nine months after the death of her husband, Leslie.

As her condition worsened and she became unable to eat or drink, Irene was admitted to our In Patient Centre, where she died aged 89 in December 2024, surrounded by care, dignity and love.

When Irene was admitted to St Luke’s, her family didn’t know what to expect.
But from the moment they arrived, her daughter Yvonne says they were met with something they will never forget: “It was like a massive hug around us all.”

Now, as we are marking our 55th anniversary, Yvonne feels the time is right to share her mum’s story and help others better understand what hospice care really means.

“Until the minute she took her last breath, the care was just outstanding. My mum died where she wanted to be, and I knew she wasn’t afraid. Her final days were full of dignity, compassion and surrounded by love and that’s thanks to St Luke’s.”

“It is absolutely paramount that people fully understand what hospice care means, and how vital it is that St Luke’s remains standing proud in Sheffield.”

Yvonne is motivated to share her story during our anniversary year, to ensure other families can receive the same care hers did, for the next 55 years, and beyond.

On Monday 21 September, 12 staff members from Aviva completed the challenging 21 mile Edale Round Walk in memory of a colleague’s father, who received care at our In Patient Centre last year.

The team took on the walk as a way of giving back for the care and support provided.

Together, they tackled the demanding route through the Peak District, raising an amazing £1975 to help ensure St Luke’s can continue supporting patients and their loved ones when they need us most.

Thank you for joining !
