Community Fundraiser

St Gemma’s Hospice is the largest hospice charity in Yorkshire, supporting thousands of patients and families each year. We are a local, independent charity with almost 50 years of expertise in providing specialist end-of-life care to the people of Leeds.

The Hospice provides In-Patient care but is not just a building; most of St Gemma’s patients are supported in the place they want to stay – often their own homes. Our exceptional team, united by our mission to deliver high-quality care with compassion and dignity, consists of over 300 staff, alongside 800 volunteers who generously and passionately donate their time.

Our Academic Unit in Palliative Care is at the forefront of clinical research and training, in collaboration with The University of Leeds. We were the first University Teaching Hospice in the world and have been able to supports research, education and training, and evidence-based practice on a local, national and international scale.
