Gareth Southgate Cuts the Ribbon as New £21.9m Yorkshire Project Launches

The hospice says the project will help protect children’s palliative care across the region and expand specialist training for more than 550 children a year.

  • On Friday, June 5, hospice ambassador Sir Gareth Southgate officially opened the redeveloped Martin House Children's Hospice in Boston Spa following completion of the £21.9 million THE BUILD project.
  • Clinical advancements mean more children live longer with increasingly complex conditions, prompting the project to safeguard future palliative care across Yorkshire through expanded facilities.
  • HARIBO UK served as headline sponsor, funding facility upgrades including a hydrotherapy pool, immersive sensory room, recording studio, and enhanced clinical spaces for families.
  • Parent Bethany Harrison called the hospice a "lifeline," noting the new hydrotherapy pool offers her son, Thomas, their family's first opportunity to swim together.
  • Sir Gareth noted the modernised space enables the charity to support more families, describing the hospice as vital for young people with life-shortening conditions.
