Alex Stephen, Chief Executive, icenet commented “We moved to Harrogate in 2005 and have made fantastic progress over the past year including signing our largest contract to date. So, we wanted to take this opportunity to share our success with a local charity, but the choice of very deserving cases is overwhelming! Martin House was suggested to us by long term supporter of the charity John McNamara, North Riding Finance, who are also a customer of ours, so we were delighted to support both organisations at the same time.”

Brenda Peel, Corporate Fundraiser, Martin House and John MacNamara, Director, North Riding Finance at Martin House, Fundraising Department.

The principal objective of Martin House is to provide care and support, free of charge, to children and young people with a life-limiting condition and their families.  Brenda Peel, Corporate Fundraiser at Martin House commented “The hospice costs in the region of £3.5m each year, the majority of which comes from voluntary donations, so we are thrilled to receive this contribution. Specifically, the money from icenet will be used to update the fundraising department computer software and the remainder will buy three ‘care packages’, which provide much needed respite weekend care for families.”
