The Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress visited Sheffield Children’s to read some festive stories and share their love of literature.

The Becton School, based at Sheffield Children’s Hospital, organised the visit with the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress this December to share the joy of reading with patients on the oncology ward.

Mog’s Christmas by Judith Kerr was the most popular book request and the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress even got to hear the lovely Gianluca reading thThe mayoress reads to a patientem a story about Father Christmas.

Young people of all ages enjoyed listening to the festive stories being read to them and was an extra treat as part of their usual learning with the teaching team.

Children and young people at Sheffield Children’s are often supported by the dedicated teaching team from Becton School. The teachers work across the hospital and our dedicated mental health lodges to make sure they can continue their education even when in hospital or receiving healthcare treatment and can’t attend mainstream school.

We’re so grateful for the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress’ visit – thank you!
