Can you support the Hospice this Ramadan?

Help us continue caring for the local community

Here at St Gemma’s Hospice, we provide the best possible care and support for local people with a life-limiting illness. We support local people, both in the Hospice and in the community, treating each person with kindness, empathy, compassion and respect.

For Ramadan this year, we are asking our local community to come together to support our vital work, caring for those in the Hospice and in the community we serve. All of our services are provided to the people of Leeds free of charge, so we rely on donations from kind supporters like you. Every donation, big or small, can make a real difference to the patients we care for and their loved ones when they need it most.

In this sacred month of Ramadan we act our duty of universal generosity by giving (Sadaqah) to charity and St Gemma’s is a very important cause to give to. I have seen the difference palliative care makes on people’s lives, in the Hospice and in the community that they live in – St Gemma’s is a local organisation supporting all people

Eleanor’s story

“Working in a hospice while practicing Islam has reinforced my sense of purpose, strengthened my patience and empathy, and deepened my understanding of both my faith and the diverse beliefs of others.”

Where did you hear about the appeal?

With Gift Aid, your donation of £0 would be worth £0.00 at no extra cost to you.

I want to add Gift Aid

I would like St Gemma’s Hospice to claim back the tax on any donations I have made in the last 4 years and all future donations, until I give further notice. I confirm I am a UK taxpayer and understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that year it is my responsibility to pay any difference. Please notify us if you want to cancel this declaration, change your home address or no longer pay sufficient tax.
