​​A personal message from Rachel Goodfellow, Hidden Needs Trust Founder, Chair of Trustees and Fundraiser.


 Another year has flown by and as per usual HNT has been incredibly busy, mainly by delivering goods to families, schools, and securing funding through the help of   the Masons for a counsellor at Sherborne Primary School.

 Since the pandemic, the work that the school counsellor has done with the most vulnerable children and their families has been invaluable, students who were   initially struggling emotionally and   mentally being able to go on to be successful students at The Gryphon School.

 I have also been busy supporting other charities and charitable organisations with goods and promoting their work on a monthly radio programme on Abbey-104.

Christmas 2023


 ​HNT was thrilled to be able to support Sherborne Primary and Sherborne Abbey Primary Schools with their Christmas Gift Box   Appeal again. 165 large Christmas Bags containing assorted toys, games and more were sourced from several kind donors to   go into the bags.
 Huge Thank You to:
 Midwest Stationers Sherborne, Yeatman Hospital Wards, Sherborne Abbey and all the HNT supporters for their kind donations.


 Huge Thank You also to Vineyards of Sherborne who donated a real 6ft Christmas tree which went to a Sherborne family     complete with a selection lights and decorations.
 This was just one family who received carloads of goods prior to the Christmas Festivities. This year it seemed that more   families were needing support, but this was not just around the Festive period! If you are downsizing, having a clear out or   wanting to donate good quality items, anything needed for a home, please do get in touch.
