Every year, Martin House supports more than 550 families from across West, North and East Yorkshire, as well as providing bereavement support to around 200 family members. It is open 24/7, 365 days a year, which includes on-call cover by its team of six doctors, meaning parents have access to expert medical advice day or night.
We are proud to be partnering with Martin House, and supporting the hospice in its biggest transformational project to date, THE BUILD. This will provide a state-of-the-art hospice with new and improved facilities to enhance and expand the specialist palliative care it already provides.
“When you’re in a rush to get to Martin House because he’s unwell, all you want to concentrate on is getting Thomas in the car and getting him there, so having one less thing to worry about will be such a weight off our shoulders.”
For Bethany and Jack, THE BUILD will give their family new experiences and make stays at Martin House with their four-year-old son Thomas – who has a rare genetic condition – easier to manage. Not only does it mean they will be able to take Thomas swimming for the first time in the new hydrotherapy pool, piped oxygen in the bedrooms means they won’t have to arrange getting bottles of oxygen delivered to the hospice when he comes for a stay.
One-to-one, family-led care, enabling families to care for their children as they choose.
Making lasting memories, create special mementos and allowing families to enjoy their time together.
Embracing physical, emotional, mental and spiritual care to provide the highest quality support.
