‘We are incredibly grateful’: Housebuilder donates generous £20,000 to Martin House Children’s Hospice

Redrow Yorkshire presented the cheque to the Wetherby-based hospice after pledging to donate £100 from every private home sale to local charities.

Martin House provides specialist care and support to around 550 families each year from across Yorkshire, offering services to babies, children and young people with life-shortening conditions.

The hospice operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, with annual running costs of around £13 million, the majority of which is raised through voluntary donations and fundraising.

Beth Brown, Partnerships Manager at Martin House Children's Hospice, said: "At Martin House Children's Hospice, we are incredibly grateful to our partners Redrow.

"The impact that Redrow have had during their many years of support is invaluable to the babies, children, young people and families that Martin House support.

"This most recent donation could fund our 'LodgeFest', allowing us to bring a fully accessible music festival to young people, with live bands, street food and a whole range of activities, helping them and their families to create precious memories together."

John Handley, Managing Director at Redrow Yorkshire, said the company was proud to continue supporting the charity.

He said: "We have supported Martin House Children's Hospice for many years.

"The hospice provides an invaluable service to families across Yorkshire during some of the most challenging times in their lives.

"We are incredibly proud to play a small part in helping them continue their vital work."

Through its pledge to donate funds per house completed, Redrow has donated around £60,000 to Yorkshire charities this year, including £20,000 to the bed poverty charity Zarach.
