Since 1987, we’ve provided specialist palliative care for children with life-shortening conditions, and their families. Since then, advances in medicine mean that children and young people, with complex care needs, are living longer. Their needs are evolving and so must we.
With your support, no matter how big or small, our vision can become a reality. A reality which will transform not only the hospice, but the lives of over 500 children and families who rely on us.

Our public fundraising target
We've been working incredibly hard behind the scenes to secure over half of the funds required to complete THE BUILD.
We'd like to say a huge thanks to our headline sponsor HARIBO for kicking off this public phase of the appeal with a £200k donation. But we still have a way to go between now and the end of 2025, when we expect the project to be completed. Now more than ever, we need your help to reach the finish line by raising the last £2 million to bring THE BUILD to life.
Martin House is a lifeline for families across Yorkshire

If Thomas is unwell, you go to Martin House, and it's a much more comforting environment - warm, and friendly, and loving. Even when he's poorly, he's going to get better quicker or going to be feeling happier in that environment. And we're less stressed at Martin House because we've got that extra support.
Find out more about THE BUILD
We've got big plans to transform Martin House into a hospice fit for the future. Learn more about how we're rebuilding the hospice to reflect the changing needs of the children we support, whilst introducing new medical technologies and an education wing to expand our training programme for professionals.
THE BUILD lead gift
THE BUILD has been made possible thanks to the generosity of The Liz and Terry Bramall Foundation, who donated a £3 million lead gift, allowing us to kick-start the project.
"The support Martin House provides to countless families living with challenges most of us cannot imagine, is quite exceptional. The Foundation is in existence to support a broad range of worthy causes in Yorkshire. There is none more worthy than Martin House."
With thanks to THE BUILD funders
