Thank you Richard for being a champion of the hospice movement and for speaking out about the difference made by St Gemma's Hospice and the need for more sustainable NHS funding.

Grateful to speak in the debate in Parliament on hospices.

I paid tribute to St Gemma's Hospice in Leeds, its staff and people in our community for their fundraising generosity.

But the government must increase NHS funding, which covers less than 30% of St. Gemma’s total needs.

Kerry Jackson, CEO of St Gemma's Hospice, highlights the growing demand for care due to insufficient NHS funding.

With a £200k campaign launched in just 36 hours, it's clear the current funding model isn't working

As you can tell, our Chief Medical Officer Mike Stockton was a little bit excited to be on air on Fever FM with hospice trustee Dr Mohammed Sattar 🇬🇧🇵🇰🇵🇸 at the weekend.

Like so many, St Gemma's Hospice has a special place in my heart. My grandma, mum and auntie all received care there before passing away.
