URGENT APPEAL: Help us raise £1million to save vital services

For families in crisis, every service we provide is a lifeline. But if we can’t raise £1million those services are at serious risk of being cut.

You can make a difference that lasts a lifetime

This year, we must raise 90% 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.

Urgent Appeal

As a result of rising staff and energy costs, uncertainty over future statutory funding and a tough year for fundraising and in our shops, we face a real term gap in our finances of £1million.

Could you make a donation today to help us raise £1million to save vital services that local families rely on?

Donate in memory

Sharing special moments with family and friends is what Christmas is all about. But many of us will also be feeling the absence of a loved one.

This Christmas, we’re inviting you to shine a little light in memory of someone dear to you. By making a donation in their name, you’ll not only keep their light shining, you’ll also help us support families to make the most of every moment they have together, creating precious memories that will last a lifetime.

Christmas tree collections

Having a real Christmas tree this year? Let us take the stress out of getting rid of it once the festivities are over!

For a minimum donation of £12, we’ll come and collect your tree from you and take it for recycling. Quick, simple, and environmentally friendly.

Not only that, but by choosing us to collect your tree, you’ll be helping children and families in West Yorkshire make the most of every moment they have together, creating precious memories that will last a lifetime.

Could you make a donation today? Because every penny counts!

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.
