Martin House is a charity that provides hospice care for children and young people across West, North and East Yorkshire.

It provides family-led care to children and young people with life-limiting and life-threatening illnesses, either at the hospice or in families' own homes.

[2] The hospice was founded by Rev Richard Seed and officially opened by The Duchess of Kent in 1987.

The charity also supports families whose child has died from a life-limited condition but did not access hospice care.

Conditions treated include long term progressive disorders such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy, Batten's disease, cystic fibrosis, and sometimes cancer.
