Over the last 10 years, Jo-Anne Oldfield has managed to raise an incredible £121,000 to support Chesterfield's Royal Hospital Neo-Natal Unit. A charity incredibly close to Jo-Anne and all of the team here at The Sitwell Arms.
Jo-Anne has thrived in her charitable mission by holding over a dozen fundraising events, from Black Tie Dinners to sponsored Tough Mudder! Each event raises more than the last, and we are excited to be alongside this journey to see even more amazing work that Jo-Anne has left to do.
This money has improved the lives of so many families by providing facilities, equipment and staff training to the Neo-Natal Unit, and we couldn't have done it without the help and generosity of everyone involved.
Jo-Anne's fundraising efforts haven't gone unrecognised, in 2021 she was asked to be part of the charity development board for the new Health & Wellbeing Hub for Chesterfield Royal Hospital's staff, as well as being a finalist for the "Pride of Britain Awards" in 2022.
If you would like to get involved, or find out more about her up and coming charity events email her on jo-anne@sitwellarms.com
"Hello, we came for lunch yesterday and it was lovely. The food was great and so was the service and it also reminded me that I hadn’t left a review for our wedding 8 weeks ago in the banqueting suite 24/11/23. I’d like to thank Karen and all the staff that made our wedding day one of the best days of our lives. The lead up to our day was organised, we were invited in a timely manner to go and chose the decor and had a meeting with Karen to discuss the final touches and then the Sitwell organised and made sure everything on the day was as we’d planned. From the relaxed breakfast I had with my bridesmaids, the getting ready, hair and makeup and Karen visiting to keep us updated of how the day would run, to a wonderful day all round. I have had time to speak to all the guests that came to both day and evening reception and they have all said what a great day it was, “one of the best weddings I’ve been to” has been said by many. Compliments to the chef because every day guest said how lovely the food was. The service was seamless. Our day was what we wanted and more so thank you, thank you, thank you! I highly recommend the Sitwell Arms to anyone looking for somewhere to get married."
