On Sunday 21 and Monday 22 April, The Precious Time Appeal will be live. During this 36-hour period every donation made to the appeal will be doubled! Doubling your impact to St Gemma’s Hospice and our vital care in the Leeds Community.

The Precious Time Appeal tells the story of the incredible care given by St Gemma’s Hospice at the end of life. If you are using hospice services, however long you have – months, weeks, days – it is not long and it is very precious.

Our Appeal film, shares the story of Ursula and her husband Peter, illustrating how our team does everything we can to make this time as liveable and precious as possible.

But Ursula’s story is just one of many, each of our incredible Champions of the appeal has shared their own story on their pages, about why St Gemma’s is special to them.

Demand for our services is growing all the time and this fundraising appeal will give our kind supporters, like you, the chance to double the impact of your support.

Chief Executive Kerry Jackson OBE says, “Demand for palliative care at our hospice and in the community is growing all the time, so St Gemma’s has to do more to sustain the vital care we provide. The Precious Time Appeal is a unique opportunity for those who want to support our work, to get their donation instantly doubled. Thanks to our generous matching fund donors and our champions, I’m confident that this innovative appeal will make a huge difference to patient care at St Gemma’s.”

Thank you to everyone who supports The Precious Time Appeal by donating and raising awareness. Your support is helping St Gemma’s to continue our incredible care in Leeds.
