St. Gemma's Hospice

Light up a Life: Outdoor Hospice event cancelled Due to severe weather conditions expected this weekend, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the live Light Up a Life event at the Hospice on Sunday afternoon.   ✨ The livestream of the event will still go ahead as planned, which you can watch from the comfort of your own home here: https://lnkd.in/gDPFdGSe  ✨A recording of the livestream will be available to watch on our website after the event. ✨ You can also join us at our in-person event at Immaculate Heart Church on 12 December. More details can be found at https://lnkd.in/gyWGqmbK Thank you for your understanding and support.

This week we welcomed volunteers to the Hospice for our annual festive thank you events to show our gratitude for their fantastic support this year 🙏 Everyone enjoyed a festive lunch, live music, quiz and 'dress the mannequin' challenge. The Lord Mayor and High Sheriff each attended an event to present long-service awards. So many of our volunteers attended over two days and it was a privilege to come together in celebration of their support. St Gemma's simply couldn’t be here without our dedicated volunteers 💜 P.S. You could be joining us for our next one! Visit https://lnkd.in/ewZkTNmp to start your volunteering journey today.

🎉 Celebrating one year in Seacroft 🎉 Last weekend marked the one year anniversary of our #Seacroft shop opening and we couldn't be more grateful to the local community who have welcomed us with open arms. Since opening, the shop has raised over a quarter of a million pounds towards patient care, which is a truly incredible amount. We want to say a big thank you to everyone in the Seacroft community who's supported the shop over the past 12 months to make it a success. 📍 If you'd like to pop in, you can find us at 23 Seacroft Avenue, Seacroft Green Shopping Centre, Leeds, LS14 6JD.

What a ball! ✨ We're delighted to share that, thanks to the generosity of everyone involved, we've raised an incredible £80,000 at this year's Winter Ball. A huge thank you to all of our sponsors Skopes, Silicon Yorkshire, RBC Brewin Dolphin and Berry's Jewellers, our fantastic host Matt J., our wonderful volunteers who helped us to organise such a successful event, and of course to our brilliant attendees whose generosity and contributions made all the difference. Your support of this event allows us to continue providing compassionate care and support to patients and families when they need it most. Together, we’re making a real impact in the Leeds community 💜 #WinterBall #Leeds #HospiceCare
