Martin House (Registered Charity no- 517919) opened in 1987 to provide family led care for children with life-threatening and life-limiting illnesses. At the centre in Yorkshire children and young people can stay with their families for support, rest and practical help. Since opening Martin House have helped in the development of children's hospice care not only in the UK but around the world. In 2002 Martin House also successfully opened the new Whitby Lodge centre for teenagers and children.

For a number of years now we have had a successful stall in our shop run by Don and Vera Waudby with items such as books and toys, generously donated by customers, from which all the money goes directly to Martin House. We would like to thank all of the people who visit our showroom and donate as it makes a huge difference to young people and their families.
