Eden are proud to be helping Martin House Hospice Care for Children and Young People raise more money to support its work. We have donated six iPad Mini 2 tablets to Martin House, which it will use to list items online as part of its eBay sales

Stephanie Rimmington, head of retail at Martin House, said: “These iPads will make a big

difference to us, it will enable us to expand our eBay operation, which we use to sell more

valuable and unusual items that are donated to us.

“We’re very grateful to Eden for supporting us in such a practical way. We want to make the

most we can from every donation we receive to our shops, and being able to sell more

through eBay will help us to do that.”

Martin House cares for children and young people with life-limiting conditions from across

West, North and East Yorkshire – and their families. This includes respite stays at the

hospice, care in their own homes, emergency stays and end of life care, along with

bereavement support for families.

It costs £8 million a year to run Martin House, with more than £1 million of that raised by its

12 charity shops and furniture warehouse.

Eden, which provides smartphone, tablet and laptop repairs, sells refurbished devices and

provides IT and telecom services to businesses, is supporting Martin House as its charity of

the year.

Andy Payne, director of Eden, said: “After seeing the work Martin House does, and how

reliant it is on donations to provide amazing services for children and young people, as a

local business we are pleased to support Martin House as our charity of the year.

“We are proud to donate the iPads to assist with its retail operations to maximise its

fundraising opportunities.”
