Martyn’s Story

Home | Our Blog | Martyn’s Story

I have known Richard and Michelle for many years which stemmed from our love of Nottingham Forest.

I used to be a partner in an electrical company based in Ilkeston and always looked to help local charities and organisations which benefitted the community.

My life was changed completely with their story, and I felt this was my chance to give back more, I raised money through shaving off my moustache and hair and other fund-raising events.

In 2018 Richard asked me to become a Trustee and I accepted.

Along with my partner Lisa who also supports Forever Stars, we love fundraising and attending events run by the charity, and thus hope to grow it further in the coming years. Wherever possible we project the values of this great charity to friends’ family and the wider community. We get enormous satisfaction with the work it does and help it gives.

As the charity grew and our portfolio of on-going support projects increased we needed dedicated volunteers to oversee particular areas, I was tasked alongside Daniel to look after the Serenity Garden which is now blooming through hard work from FS and the many external volunteers.
