The Martha Trust was very lucky to hold an exclusive fundraising event at The Laskett Gardens in Herefordshire, hosted by Sir Roy Strong himself last Saturday. Gillie Bulmer's committee members organised the event and the 'Posh Picnic' was enjoyed by all. The figure is still being calculated but if you visit the website again this time next week the result will be announced!

Thank you to everyone who attended, all of the committee members, Fiona (Sir Roy's assistant), those who couldnt come and sent a donation and to all the helpers including lots of parents of Martha Trust. What a wonderful day...and we didnt even get rained on !!

Thank you Sir Roy Strong for such a memorable day.

We had our final bag packing day at Sainsbury's on Wednesday 25th April....it was a huge success and after being their charity of the year they have raised a total of £9,113.55 for Martha Trust.

THANK YOU TO ALL THE STAFF AND CUSTOMERS OF SAINSBURY'S IN HEREFORD !!!

We would like to say a big thank you to the staff at Sainsbury’s Hereford for choosing Martha Trust as their ‘charity of the year’ in 2011/12. The store’s various fundraising events and the support of the customers have resulted in raising over £8,000 which is fantastic.  Our year with Sainsbury’s is coming to a close with a final bag packing day to be held on Wednesday 25^th April.

The Martha Trust House on Old Eign Hill in Hereford was the venue for the trust’s annual coffee morning, which raised £1,750

for the charity. Guests included the Mayor of Hereford, Julie Woodward, staff from Sainsbury’s and B&K Building Services. The

Martha Trust provides lifelong and respite care for young people with profound intellectual and physical disabilities.
