Known as a Diamond Anniversary, this is a time to reflect on our incredible journey and celebrate the impact we’ve had on the community of Wakefield for over a century and a half.
A Legacy of 150 Years
Though officially registered in 1950, Prosper Wakefield District’s roots go back much further, to our founding in 1875 as The Hospital Sunday Fund. For the last 150 years, we have been at the heart of Wakefield, adapting, evolving, and staying true to our mission: to support the health and wellbeing of the Wakefield District.
Our Diamond Anniversary Celebrations
We will honour our past, celebrate our present, and look forward to a bright future. To kick things off, we’re unveiling a special 75th-anniversary logo. Designed to reflect both our legacy and the importance of this milestone, it’s a symbol of our enduring commitment to Wakefield.
We’re diving into our history to uncover and share some of the most inspiring and impactful moments from the last 150 years! These stories will highlight the incredible work carried out by local charities, the ways we’ve evolved to meet the community’s needs, and the impact that’s been delivered to countless lives across the District.
