Design for Donations Day raised over £1000 for Charity

At Wilkin Design, we believe that design has the power to do more than just look good. It can make a real difference. That’s why we were thrilled to join forces with our friends at Hydra Creative for their Design for Donations Day, a community initiative that turned creativity into meaningful impact.

The idea was simple but powerful: businesses could book an hour of our design time in exchange for a minimum donation of £50 to charity. In return, they received professional design work ranging from social media graphics to marketing materials, all created within a dedicated one-hour slot.

Over the course of the day, we worked with a range of fantastic clients and together raised a total of £1,314.80! This was split evenly between two incredible local causes:

• £657.40 for The Sheffield Children’s Hospital Charity

• £657.40 for S6 Foodbank

Both charities play a vital role in supporting our community. The Sheffield Children’s Hospital Charity helps fund life-saving equipment, research, and facilities for young patients and their families, while S6 Foodbank provides essential food and support to people in crisis across Sheffield.

It was inspiring to see how much could be achieved when creativity and generosity come together. Not only did our team get to meet and collaborate with new local businesses, but we also had the chance to use our design skills to give back in a meaningful way.

We’d like to say a huge thank you to Hydra Creative for inviting us to take part, and to all the amazing clients who got involved and donated so generously.
