Yorkshire‑based pet food company Burgess Pet Care has raised £6,320.80 for Martin House Children’s Hospice, its chosen 2025 charity partner. The much‑loved regional business saw colleagues across Yorkshire come together throughout the year to support the local hospice, with the Burgess family generously match‑funding all money raised.   

Employees across the business took part in an ambitious year-long programme of fundraising activities to support the hospice, which provides vital care to children and young people with life-limiting conditions across the region.

Martin House was selected as Burgess Pet Care’s annual charity due to its vital role within the local area, providing specialist care, respite, and support to families navigating the toughest circumstances.

The team-led fundraising highlights included: multiple marathons completed by Burgess colleagues, bake sales across the business, a festive Christmas jumper day, a toy drive supporting families at Martin House, and a companywide walking challenge. 

Suzanne Moyes, Deputy Managing Director commented: “We are incredibly proud of the team’s enthusiasm throughout the year. Martin House is a charity close to our hearts and local to our community, so supporting their work has meant a great deal to everyone at Burgess.” 

Rosie Mellor‑Silvester, Head of Partnerships at Martin House, added: “We’re hugely grateful to Burgess Pet Care for choosing to support Martin House throughout 2025. Their fundraising efforts, and the generosity of the Burgess family in match‑funding, will make a meaningful difference to the children, young people, and families we support across Yorkshire. Partnerships like this ensure we can continue providing the specialist care our region relies on.”   

In 2026, Burgess Pet Care will support Andy’s Man Club as its new charity partner. The nationwide organisation provides free, peer support groups for men, helping to break the stigma around men’s mental health and offer a safe space for open conversation.
