The Master Cutler's Challenge is back for 2025! Find out more and get involved: https://sheffieldhospitalscharity.org.uk/master-cutler

Each year a new Master Cutler becomes the head of the Company of Cutlers in Hallamshire. They act as the voice of manufacturing for our region. The Master Cutler sets a challenge which has become one of the largest fundraising events in the region, raising an incredible amount for local causes.

Companies, organisations and individuals who sign up to the Master Cutler’s challenge are given £50 as a starter seed fund. They are challenged to grow this into a bigger amount of money which is in turn donated to the Master’s nominated charity. This year’s Master Cutler Phil Rodrigo has chosen Sheffield Hospitals Charity as a beneficiary of the challenge to fund projects that will have significant impact through a number of dementia care initiatives:

1. Help people living with dementia to stay independent

2. Fund specialist dementia training for NHS staff, volunteers and carers

3. Improve hospital spaces and activities
