RECOGNITION OF DIRECTOR AND HER HUSBAND

    We are delighted to share that Felicity Banbury’s husband has been appointed as the Vice President of Acorns Children’s Hospice. This is a charity we are also passionate about and have supported.

    We are sharing an extract from a letter sent out by Acorns that recognises some of Martin and Felicity’s brilliant work. We wish Martin all the best in his new role and look forward to continuing to support Acorns.

     

    I am delighted to inform you all that Martin Banbury has just accepted an invitation sent to him by our Chairman, David Butcher, to become a Vice President of Acorns, with immediate effect.

     

    Martin, who lives in Leamington is the founder of the Acorns Coventry Fundraising Group, a group of dedicated volunteers who have been supporting Acorns for over 25 years. Martin’s involvement with Acorns began at a school parents evening where the headmistress, who knew he was a successful local businessman, asked if he could support the Selly Oak hospice. Martin got together a core group of six voluntary members from the local area who organise events to raise money for our work. In addition to monthly community fundraisers (golf days, afternoon tea, quiz nights, Ascot races etc). Martin and his wife Felicity have taken on their own personal challenges including a 400km cycle from Vietnam to Cambodia, raising over £24,000. Every year the group sets themselves a fundraising target of £50,000 and to date the group have raised over £800,000 to fund our care.
    Well Done Martin!
