Tea-riffic donation brews up a welcome treat to Martin House visitors and staff

Harrogate-based Holidays VIP, a new holiday firm, has pledged to supply all the Yorkshire Tea Martin House drinks throughout 2020.

Director Andy Herridge decided to make a monthly donation of the tea to the Boston Spa facility after learning that families and staff at the hospice drink around 40,000 cups of tea a year.

Andy is a long-term supporter of Martin House, with his other company Harewood Asset Finance giving a monthly donation; while he has raised money in the Great North Run five times.

He said: “I thought it would be good to give something that would make a difference to families when they stay at Martin House – and everyone needs a nice cup of tea!”

Martin House cares for children and young people with life-limiting conditions from West, North and East Yorkshire.

Emily Sharman, regional fundraiser for Martin House, said: “One of the things families really appreciate when they come to Martin House is the chance to relax with a cup of tea, so it’s incredibly kind of Andy to make sure we’ll be well supplied with Yorkshire Tea for the coming year.”
