Over 2010, we’ve recruited a whole team of fundraisers to tell visitors to HDH shops about their work and at the same time announce their new HDH lottery. In this interview, we speak to Isobel Lawrence, the most effective fundraiser from the campaign. Read the full article

As part of the Oxford Young Professionals Society, we took part in an amusing and thought provoking pub quiz. There was a good turn out and we put a few voices to faces. We’re looking forward to the Summer Ball in August 2010. If you’re interested in joining OYPS, follow this link.

Tamika Marsh of Hayden Marsh and Juliet Atkins of Airtanker Services spent a very wet Sunday morning pedalling around a 30 mile course in Harwell, Oxfordshire. Tamika commented

“The last 3 miles coming back towards Harwell were dreadfully hard. The weather drenched us as the photos show! It was thoroughly testing but Juliet and I will do it again next year!”

Tamika and Juliet raised one of the highest amounts on the day and were recognised by the event leader for doing so – well done to them both, a great effort in difficult conditions.

Joanna Hurley-Walker, Comms Manager in India at the moment, has kindly sent photos of the books in situ – we even recognised a few of the books! Best wishes to Joanna and Gillian for allowing us to be part of the project.

Hayden Marsh attended the Childish Things event held annually at the New Theatre in Oxford in aid of Helen and Douglas House, our chosen charity.

It was a fabulous evening with some talented performers – a highlight for us is always “Lullaby” by Out of the Blue. Jason Manford was genuinely funny, Phil Jupitus genuinely wasn’t. But we all had a lovely evening where we were able to invite some of our clients and be thoroughly entertained. Well done to all at Helen and Douglas House for organising the event!

Zoe Ellis from Hayden Marsh helped to man the phones at Centrica HQ in Oxford where a large crowd gathered to take pledges and donations.  They raised c. £150,000 on the night, so a very well done to all concerned!

Hayden Marsh have developed some close links with the owners of Michelin starred fine dining eater The Nut Tree Inn in Murcott, Oxfordshire www.thenuttreeinn.co.uk.  The food and service are so good, we decided to reward some of the Hayden Marsh team with a special meal there (photo showing Laura, Evanthea and Zoe of HM and Mike and Imogen North of The Nut Tree). We’re also running a series of competitions for our clients, were the winners will be awarded an “En Surprise” taster meal for two at the Nut Tree. Look out for the updates on our blog.

Having watched the fabulous Out of the Blue accapella at the Childish Things 5 event a couple of weeks previously, we had a hugely enjoyable night watching the Oxford boys sing in perfect harmony. They littered the songs with some amusing comedy links and we would recommend them to anyone who enjoys a vibrant, engaging theatre experience. The best bit was that the funds raised went to Helen and Douglas House who need to raise ever increasing funds to compensate for a slight reduction in charity donations due to the recession.
