Martin House Childens Hospice
Martin House Children’s Hospice provides free, specialist palliative care to babies, children and young people with life-limiting conditions across North, West and East Yorkshire. For almost 40 years, it has supported families through symptom management, respite breaks, emergency and end-of-life care, emotional support and bereavement services. In 2024–25, Martin House supported more than 550 children and young people.
Project Overview
Martin House is seeking £5,000 to fund 20 specialized sessions in its new purpose-built hydrotherapy pool.
This accessible pool will help children with complex conditions reduce pain and muscle spasms, improve mobility, and support emotional well-being. It will also enable parents and siblings to swim, play, and create precious memories together, something that many of these families have never been able to experience before.
The funding will help cover the costs of specialist physiotherapists and care staff, adapted equipment, heated water, and operational expenses necessary to deliver these sessions safely.
