GP Surveyors are proud to have helped The Children’s Hospital Charity Snowflake Appeal celebrate its 21st year, by sponsoring one of their snowflakes. 

GP Surveyors chose to support the charity again this year because of the amazing work that all the staff undertake. Unfortunately, one of the team’s little ones has been a regular visitor for the past four years. Sidney, the son of Rebecca Reynard (Sales Director) and Grandson of Jacqui and Chris Johnson (Directors), was born with stage five chronic kidney disease and has required multiple visits to the hospital. He has always received first-rate care and the whole family has been provided with fantastic support.

“The Children’s Hospital have given me and my family so much, we just wanted to give something back and contribute towards helping others and what better way than to bring a bit of Christmas cheer with a twinkly snowflake!”

The snowflakes are now bringing festive cheer throughout South Yorkshire by illuminating multiple buildings across the region. The big Snowflake switch-on took place on 3rd of December with dozens of beautiful snowflakes lighting up the Sheffield Children’s Hospital. It was a fantastic festive occasion with the pavements outside the hospital, packed with well-wishers.

What began as four snowflake decorations on the Sheffield Children’s Hospital building in 2004 has grown massively over the last two decades. This year nearly five hundred Snowflakes are spread across the region.

The twinkling snowflakes are illuminating many buildings, including the Ryegate Children’s Centre, the Becton Centre for Children and Young People, Sheffield City Hall, St John’s Church, Owlerton Stadium, the Homes-by-Holmes building in Chesterfield, The Centre in Brinsworth and Woodhouse Community Hub and Library. This year due to popular demand the organisers have added new locations at Vicar Lane in Chesterfield, The Moor, and the Sheffield Olympic Legacy Park.

“We are absolutely overwhelmed by the support shown this year. Every snowflake represents kindness, community spirit and the incredible support shown for children and families who rely on Sheffield Children’s. We couldn’t be more grateful.”

This year’s snowflake appeal has been an immense success, seeing a whopping £437,000 raised to date, which will be going towards the building of the new National Centre for Child Health Technology. In total, the snowflake appeal has raised well over £3.3m for Sheffield Children’s Hospital since it first began in 2004.
