Martin House provides family-led care for children and young people with life-limiting conditions. We support families from across West, North and East Yorkshire, both at our hospice and in the community. Our families are at the heart of everything we do and we value each member as an individual with their own needs.
Volunteering with Martin House: Currently, we have over 400 regular and active volunteers.

Trustees • Receptionists • Drivers • Gardeners • e-Bay and Collectables Researchers • Maintenance • Laundry • Ambassadors • Retail Assistants Administrators • Catering • PAT Testers • Friends Groups…. and more.
Even animals can be volunteers at Martin House – we have Pets as Therapy volunteers including dogs and a pony.
We have a Volunteer Forum, whose members represent areas across the organisation, and provide invaluable input to Martin House and our work.
With an average of 72,000 hours of time being given by our volunteers a year, the smallest possible way of calculating the value of this is over HALF A MILLION POUNDS
