We're delighted to announced a new partnership with Charlotte’s Rooms, a community-led fundraising initiative dedicated to improving the experience of families visiting loved ones at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust.

Charlotte’s Rooms was established by Emma Whittles and Samantha Gilroy in memory of their sister Charlotte Whittles. The initiative is driven by a shared commitment to ensuring that families facing difficult moments in hospital have access to environments that provide comfort, privacy and care.

The partnership, will see Charlotte’s Rooms raise funds in aid of Leeds Hospitals Charity to create welcoming, comforting spaces for families across Leeds Teaching Hospitals.

Paula Guanaria, Head of Relationship Fundraising at Leeds Hospitals Charity says: "We are incredibly proud to be working alongside Charlotte’s Rooms, their commitment to improving the experience of families in hospital aligns closely with our mission to provide the best possible care for patients and their loved ones. This partnership will help us create spaces that offer comfort, dignity and reassurance for families when it matters most.”

Emma Whittles and Samantha Gilroy, founders of Charlotte’s Rooms, said: “We’re passionate about creating spaces that feel safe, calm and supportive for those visiting loved ones in hospital. That’s why we wanted to create Charlotte’s Rooms, to make a real difference to families going through some of the most difficult times in their lives. We’re excited to be  working in partnership with Leeds Hospitals Charity to help us turn that vision into reality and ensure the funds we raise have a meaningful and lasting impact.”
