Leeds Children's Hospital is one of the UK’s largest specialist children’s hospitals offering a wide range of treatments and care for children from birth to young adulthood and beyond.

It's mission is to improve the health and wellbeing of children and young people in Leeds and further afield by providing outstanding care and that's what they do, every day.

Leeds Hospitals Charity supports Leeds Children’s Hospital to deliver the best by directing support to our six priority areas.

During 2022/23 we awarded £3.79 million specifically for projects to enhance the care and experience of paediatric patients. Projects vary in size and scope, from Halloween craft packs to specialist staff roles in order to pump prime new services. All are focused on enhancing the care and treatment of paediatric patients in Leeds.

By donating or leaving a gift in your Will to Leeds Hospitals Charity, you can fund the things that make a real difference to patients and their families, and help to enhance the care Leeds Children's Hospital already provides. This includes life-saving equipment, treatments and research into rare diseases, and helps to bring hope, happiness and home comforts to every bedside.

Your donation helps Leeds Children's Hospital to be their very best for your loved ones, when they need it most. Can you support them today?

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s happening with the new Children’s Hospital?

The Hospitals of the Future Project is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to design and build a new hospital on the site of Leeds General Infirmary (LGI) which will include a new home for Leeds Children’s Hospital, a new adults’ hospital and one of the largest centralised maternity centres in the UK.

Leeds is part of the government’s new hospital programme, where funding was allocated to building 40 new hospitals across the UK. Following the general election in July 2024, we’re now awaiting a review to be conducted by the new labour government before we can proceed with the programme.
