Following the momentum of last year’s Place of Hope Summit, this year we look ahead with a new focus: dreams. Throughout early 2026, children, young people and families will share their dreams for the future through a creative campaign, and those voices will shape and inspire the conversations in Doncaster this summer.
The Summit will bring together partners from across South Yorkshire to spotlight bold, sustainable ideas that can help end child poverty and strengthen children’s wellbeing. It also forms the centrepiece of South Yorkshire’s Year of the Child 2026, proudly marking the 150th anniversary of Sheffield Children’s NHS Foundation Trust.
