We all feel really passionate about the care we give to our patients every day . Taking part in fundraising events helps to raise funds to ensure we are able to continue to provide the care needed . Every penny raised is gratefully appreciated & received with thanks .

St George's Crypt, Leeds Rhinos Foundation and St Gemma's Hospice are partnering together again for the 7th year to bring you Leeds Big Sleep. This award winning fundraising challenge event is a highlight in everyone's calendar and all the money raised is shared equally between the three Leeds charities.

We are staff & friends of St Gemmas who are challenging ourselves to spend one night under the stars at Headingley Stadium, home of Leeds Rhinos, giving up just one night of comfort to raise money to support the three charities continue their vital work within the city.
