Martin House Children’s Hospice - Presidents Charity of the Year 2025/2026

Leeds Law Society is proud to announce Martin House Children’s Hospice as our Presidents Charity for 2025/26. Martin House cares for babies, children and young people with life-shortening conditions from across the West, North and East Yorkshire. Its support includes planned respite stays, symptom control, emergency care, end of life care and bereavement support. Every year Martin House cares for more than 550 children and their families, as well as supporting around 200 bereaved family members, at its hospice in Boston Spa, in hospitals and in the community. It is open 24/7, 365 days a year, whenever families need help and support. Pam Newby, Partnerships Development Manager at Martin House said: “We are absolutely delighted to have been chosen as Leeds Law Society’s Presents charity of the year for 2025/6 and look forward to supporting Luke and his team with their fundraising efforts. Partnerships like this play a crucial role in helping us not only raise vital funds but also building much needed awareness of our work. It's an exciting time for Martin House as they are in the midst of their biggest capital appeal to date. THE BUILD is a £21.9m project which will transform and extend the current building – future proofing the hospice and helping families across Yorkshire for many more years to come. On behalf of everyone at Martin House, thank you for your support.” Luke said: “I am really happy to be working with Martin House as my charity for the year and supporting the amazing work they do. Martin House support children and their families in some of the most difficult times and their support is invaluable. I hope that the legal community in Leeds can get behind them over the next year and beyond, helping them to raise vital funds to support THE BUILD and to raise awareness of the incredible things they do for children and their families in Yorkshire and beyond.” For more information, visit
