Spire Leeds Hospital raises £7k for Martin House Children’s Hospice
Spire Leeds Hospital has raised an incredible £7,023.05 for Martin House Children’s Hospice, which will go towards new facilities for the children they support, such as their new Hydrotherapy Pool.
This pool will give children and their families more comfort and relief, as well as respite care.
This charity is close to Spire Leeds Hospital, as it supports a Spire Leeds Hospital staff member’s family. Spire Leeds Hospital have hosted numerous events such as a Summer BBQ, raffles, and a Glitterball to support Martin House Children’s Hospice and to raise these funds. Spire Leeds Hospital has plans to continue fundraising and supporting this charity, and are aiming to reach a £10,000 fundraising target for Martin House Childen’s Hospice.
Ceri Morgan, Hospital Director at Spire Leeds Hospital, said: “We are proud to share that Spire Leeds Hospital has raised an incredible £7,023.05 for Martin House Children’s Hospice so far this year, through multiple charity events, raffles and donations, including raffle prizes.
"A big thank you to everyone who took part and donated prizes. Your support is truly appreciated and will go a long way in supporting this wonderful cause.”
Beth Brown, Regional Fundraiser at Martin House Children’s Hospice (West Yorkshire), said: “We are absolutely delighted to be supported by Spire, Leeds. At Martin House Children’s Hospice, we know we can’t always add days to the lives of the children we support, however, we can always add life to their days.
"One way in which we can do this is through the completion of our new Hydrotherapy Pool, an element of THE BUILD that Spire have particularly supported; this fully accessible pool will give children with life-shortening conditions and their families a chance to experience comfort, relief and special moments together.
"It is thanks to supporters like Spire that we can continue to care for the babies, children, and young people of Yorkshire when they need us most.”
