Staff at a care service in Nottinghamshire have raised close to \u00a35,000 since the start of 2025 for a charity that supports children at\u00a0Sheffield\u00a0Hospital.<\/p>\n

Located on Central Drive, Cygnet Manor is a 20-bed care service for men with learning disabilities and associated complex needs.<\/p>\n

The Shirebrook-based service chose The Children\u2019s\u00a0Hospital\u00a0Charity as the focus of their fundraising efforts for the year due to the support that staff have received in the past from the charity.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The charity provides support for patients at\u00a0Sheffield\u00a0Children\u2019s\u00a0Hospital, pioneers ground-breaking\u00a0medical\u00a0treatments and creates a comfortable and engaging environment for children at the\u00a0hospital.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The team at Cygnet Manor fundraised their highest amount to date with \u00a33,353 raised that day alone.<\/p>\n

The Cygnet Health Care service held a Family Fun Day at Shirebrook Cricket Club for the local community, who were entertained with games, face painting, a bouncy castle, and a DJ. There were also local businesses providing food and drink as well as selling their products to help raise funds.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mellissa Greenwood, head of care at the Cygnet Health Care service, highlighted the success of the day.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She said: \u201cI can\u2019t believe how much we raised at our Family Fun Day. I am so proud of everyone. <\/p>\n

“It\u2019s an astounding amount that will really make a difference to such a worthy charity that means so much to a lot of us here at Cygnet Manor.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been fundraising for The Children\u2019s\u00a0Hospital\u00a0Charity since January with events like raffles and bake sales. <\/p>\n

“The charity has supported some of our staff and their children in the past so we just want to give something back.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A whopping \u00a3500 was raised from a single-item raffle, which saw attendees try and get their hands on a signed Manchester United football shirt that was kindly donated by the community. <\/p>\n

Getting into the football spirit, the Cygnet Group staff took on a local construction company, Miller Knight, at a charity football game winning 6-4 and keeping the donations rolling.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mellissa added: \u201cIt was an amazing day and it was so nice to see the local community step up and help us in fundraising. <\/p>\n

“So many businesses kindly donated prizes and we couldn\u2019t have raised this much money without them! It really showed our community spirit and brought everyone together for a great cause.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cygnet Manor\u2019s fundraising running total is for now \u00a34,808 and is set to grow even further with events like a Bikeathon, a skydive and a fancy dress walk later in the year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Staff at a care service in Nottinghamshire have raised close to \u00a35,000 since the start of 2025 for…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":197357,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8817],"tags":[748,393,4884,12893,80082,1620,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-197356","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sheffield","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-inyourarea-community","12":"tag-nottingham-post","13":"tag-sheffield","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114710517126580128","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/197356","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=197356"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/197356\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/197357"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=197356"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=197356"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=197356"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
