Read more: Building a children’s hospital for the future A better hospital for patients like Jack Jack was four years old when his parents found out that he has muscular dystrophy – a muscle wasting disease with a life expectancy of just 25. Jack now comes to Leeds Children’s Hospital every three months as part of a dedicated research trial into his condition. His mum Claire has to navigate his wheelchair to the third floor and wait for hours in a tiny waiting room while he undergoes treatment and tests. The facility is in a busy corridor, alongside adult wards and is far from child-friendly. Staff at Leeds Children’s Hospital will dedicate their life to finding a cure for children like Jack. Putting research at the heart of our new children’s hospital will make finding lifesaving cures possible. “We live in hope that the team at Leeds learn how to slow his disease down and ultimately find a cure.” - Jack’s mum, Claire Imagine what difference this new building will make In five years’ time, we will open the doors to a children’s hospital that will put Leeds on the global map for healthcare.

Leeds Children’s Hospital supports hundreds of thousands of paediatric patients every year. As one of the largest children’s hospitals in the UK, it provides a range of specialist services for children across the North of England. Leeds Hospitals Charity supports Leeds Children’s Hospital to deliver the best by directing support to our six priority areas. What is 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.

A final fundraising total has not yet been announced, but we know we’ll need to raise at least £30 million to ensure we have a truly incredible new children’s hospital here in Leeds.
