Thank you Richard for being a champion of the hospice movement and for speaking out about the difference made by St Gemma's Hospice and the need for more sustainable NHS funding.
Full house for Yorkshire & Humber hospice Chairs & Chief Execs forum, first time since before Covid! #hospice St Gemma's Hospice Hospice UK
Grateful to speak in the debate in Parliament on hospices.

But the government must increase NHS funding, which covers less than 30% of St. Gemma’s total needs.
Kerry Jackson, CEO of St Gemma's Hospice, highlights the growing demand for care due to insufficient NHS funding.
With a £200k campaign launched in just 36 hours, it's clear the current funding model isn't working

Like so many, St Gemma's Hospice has a special place in my heart. My grandma, mum and auntie all received care there before passing away.
