Grateful thanks are made to her for her generosity in making this bequest in her will, which has given the charity the resources to greatly increase its work with autistic young people in Leicestershire and Rutland. 

Grateful thanks are also give to the regular donors to the charity and to the magnificent support of the fans of the organist, Nick Martin, who is President of the Charity.
