How much will this project cost?

Between now and when the new centre opens its doors for the first time, we need to raise £5m to create a specialist care centre tailored to the needs of MND patients and their families. 

With your support we can ensure that our MND services are housed under one roof for the first time. This will help reduce travel across hospital sites and be much more easily accessible for patients. 

By making a donation, you can help transform the hospital experience for people with MND and their loved ones, providing them with a safe haven to create lasting memories. 

Donate to our MND Appeal today. 

“We want to provide a safe haven for our patients and their families - a peaceful environment that reiterates to them that they have the best possible care, helping them ‘live in the now’, a serene place that instils hope and courage.”

- Dr Agam Jung, Consultant Neurologist at Seacroft Hospital
