OUR PARTNER CHARITIES ARE AS FOLLOWS:
The Jane Tomlinson Appeal was established by the late Jane Tomlinson CBE. We support a wide range of charities across the North and the Midlands to improve the lives of children and the lives of people who are affected by cancer.
The Children’s Air Ambulance is changing the face of paediatric care through the high speed transfer of critically ill children. Right now, this free of charge service works alongside NHS transport teams to help fly paediatric patients to specialist treatment. It is the first and only dedicated paediatric helicopter emergency transfer service in the country.
Macmillan Cancer Support improves the lives of people affected by cancer. We provide practical, medical, emotional and financial support and push for better cancer care. Cancer affects us all. We can all help. We are Macmillan.
We raise vital funds to make every child’s experience in the Leeds Children’s Hospital better, brighter and happier. Providing much-needed specialist equipment, funding pioneering medical research and helping transform the wards, waiting rooms and day case areas into friendly and welcoming environments. Everything we do enables the Children’s Hospital to go over and above the standard NHS provision.
The aim of Martin House is to provide family led care for children with life shortening conditions. It is a place where children, young people and their families can come to stay from time to time along their journey and find support, rest and practical help.
Sue Ryder supports people through the most difficult times of their lives. Whether that’s a terminal illness, the loss of a loved one or a neurological condition – we’re there when it matters. Our doctors, nurses and carers give people the compassion and expert care they need to help them live the best life they possibly can.
We are here to provide the best possible care and quality of life for local people with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses – both at the Hospice and out in the community.
For over 40 years Candlelighters has supported children with cancer, and their families, throughout Yorkshire. They support families financially, provide holidays and fund staff and equipment at Leeds Children’s Hospital. Their Family Support Centre offers a variety of therapies as well as support groups to all family members.
