Investing in health innovation, in the heart of our city
Every breakthrough starts with someone willing to believe in an idea.
Sheffield Dragons was created to build deeper partnerships with those who want to be actively involved in supporting innovation within Sheffield Teaching Hospitals. You’ll be part of a community of businesses and individuals passionate about the health of our city, pledging support to fund innovative life-changing projects across Sheffield.
As a member of Sheffield Dragons, you’ll invest in the Dragons’ Den Innovation Fund which gives NHS staff the opportunity to develop innovations that improve care, enhance patient experience and transform lives across our region.
Become a Sheffield Dragon and together, we can help Sheffield’s NHS continue to innovate, improve and care for future generations.
A word from our ambassador Richard Stubbs, Chief Executive of Health Innovation Yorkshire & Humber
"Across Sheffield, extraordinary moments happen every single day in our NHS. Our clinicians, researchers and support teams are continuously looking for better ways to treat patients, support families and improve services. By supporting Sheffield Hospitals Charity, you help make that progress possible, funding improvements that go beyond what standard NHS budgets alone can provide.
Sheffield Dragons was created for those who want to do more than donate; it is for those who want to partner with us. Get involved and be a part of the innovation happening in the city"
