 of Judy Martin

a FormerTrustee

With a background in Graphic Design & Photography and Event Management, Judy joined the St Leonards Hospital team in 2009. She was lucky enough to be offered the role of Activities Co-Ordinator with a big help from the League of Friends which involved providing essential quality time to the patients at St Leonards, whilst offering a variety of activities. Stimulating the mind and body of the patients through arts and crafts, baking etc. communication being key. MAKING A DIFFERENCE BEING MY GOAL was always Judy's slogan.

I also I served as chairman for eight years till 2010 helping to raise funds for the Hospital and patients and staff it was the good work of the staff at the hospital that got us all going


Evelyn introduced the Craft Fair in 2004 which has proved to be very successful for the friends I introduced the very first ball which was a resounding success, she was very surprised and happy to recieve her Honary Life  Presidency to mark my years of service and commitment to the St Leonards League of friends, and continued for as long as she could.
