About Us

St Gemma’s Hospice is a local, independent charity and has been providing expert care to the people of Leeds for over 40 years.

St Gemma’s Hospice is a Leeds-based charity providing expert care and support for local people with life-limiting and terminal illnesses. We offer care to patients and their carers in the Hospice’s In-Patient Unit, through the St Gemma’s community team and via our day services, which includes a Day Hospice and Out-Patient Department.

St Gemma’s welcomes and provides care to everyone regardless of people’s age, gender, disability, race, religion, sexual orientation or diagnosis. Our care is always completely free of charge.

St Gemma’s is the largest hospice in Yorkshire and one of the largest in the UK.

We have a large chain of charity shops across Leeds and surrounding areas and an online eBay shop. Our charity shops are the biggest single source of income for the Hospice and collectively raised £3million in the last year.

Our local St Gemma’s charity shop is run by a dedicated team of staff and volunteers. We sell a fantastic range of women’s, men’s and children’s clothing and accessories, books, furniture, toys, homeware, electrical items and more.
