Infoserve's Parntership with Martin House

Morgan Waterworth • Nov 10, 2022

We are delighted to announce our partnership with Martin House!


For those of you who don’t know, Martin House is a family-led hospice providing care and support to children with life-limiting illnesses.


The hospice, in Boston Spa, Leeds, has the facilities to care for nine children at a time, each of which has their own bedroom which allows parents to stay overnight with their child.


In addition to the hospice, Martin House offers support to the community for children and their families from the comfort of their own homes. 


The areas Martin House covers are:


  • North Yorkshire
  • West Yorkshire
  • East Yorkshire


Martin House does unbelievable work when families and children are in need of care and support but being a charity, they need support in return.


As part of our partnership with Martin House, we have been fundraising in various ways to support the Yorkshire-based charity. 


In August we had a ‘fun day’ at our Leeds headquarters where members of the Infoserve team baked cakes, played an incredibly tense game of giant Jenga and agonised over what should have been a relatively easy quiz.


We then decided it would be fitting to burn off all the cake and hike up Whernside, Yorkshire's highest peak. With an unfit (but enthusiastic) team of 9, we laced up our boots and climbed the peak on what turned out to be a beautiful September day.


If you would like to support this amazing charity within your business, why not try one of the following activities to get you started:


  • Office bake sale
  • Give employees the opportunity to volunteer for a day
  • Sponsored walk/outdoor activity
  • Pledge to give up something for a year
  • Encourage colleagues to bring in unwanted items to donate to the shops


With 13 shops scattered around the Yorkshire region, you can support Martin House by donating unwanted items you no longer need. Alternatively, you might pick up a bargain yourself. You can also visit their eBay shop where you can find designer wear, vintage products, book bundles, and children’s toys.
