New Charity of the Year: St Gemma’s Hospice

At the beginning of June, Emsleys partnered with St Gemma’s Hospice as its Charity of the Year for 2017/18.

Based in Leeds, St Gemma’s provides care and support for those living with terminal illnesses in the local area. The charity offers free care, including an in-patient unit with 32 beds, as well as a day hospice and out-patient department.

Over the next year, Emsleys will be supporting St Gemma’s with dress down days and fundraising events, including a Fun Day this summer, to enable the charity to continue providing its essential service to the local community.

Director and Head of Wills and Probate Helen Gott commented: “We have worked closely with St Gemma’s for a number of years supporting their Wills Schemes. By partnering with St Gemma’s as our chosen charity of the year, we can further support the Hospice and strengthen our links with them. We look forward to our fundraising year with the Hospice.”
