Supporting children and families across West Yorkshire

By providing outstanding nursing care, hydrotherapy, creative therapy, days out, memory-making, end-of-life care, bereavement support and counselling to families facing or living with the loss of their child, we help them to make the most of every moment together.

You can make a difference that lasts a lifetime

This year, we must raise over 80% of the money we need to run our children’s hospice.

Meaning it’s only with your help that we can continue to be here, providing vital and pioneering care and support to children and families across West Yorkshire.

So be part of something amazing! Whether it’s taking on a challenge, signing up to our events, playing our lottery, visiting our shops or simply making a donation, everyone can make a lasting difference to local children and families.

“This is Hospice Care”

We’re proud to stand once again with over 125 hospices for the “This is Hospice Care” campaign, brought together by Hospice UK.

Hospice care is more than you think, and it’s closer than you know.

Somewhere in your life, in your family, your friendships, your community – hospice care is already making a difference in ways you might not expect.

But this incredible support wouldn’t exist without you. Gifts in wills helped fund the care of 1 in 5 children with life-shortening conditions that we supported in 2024-25 – because someone, a stranger, a neighbour, a friend, decided children’s hospice care mattered enough to protect. Now we’re asking you to be that someone for the next generation.

When you leave a gift in your will to us, you help ensure that hospice care lives on for all, for now, forever.

Life would have been even harder if we hadn’t had Forget Me Not. It’s so mentally draining, all the stuff going round in your head. The knowledge that the team have there, it took the strain off. That was a massive help.
