Sadly we have to report the death of one of our founding trustees, David Riley who died on 1 February.
Back in 2013, David was one of the team who implemented the vision for HMSST as a local Herefordshire charity supporting the MS community. He had the necessary desire and purpose to fill the role of trustee, and he did so very successfully during the first years of the trust. His insight and input at trust meetings was invaluable, and we were disappointed to lose his services as trustee late in 2014, but knew that he continued to support the work of HMSST ‘from the outside’.
David was born in 1942 in Colne, Lancashire and went to Nelson Secondary Technical School after passing the 11+.He completed an Engineering Apprenticeship in the Polymer Industry in 1964. He represented Colne at cricket in the Lancashire League.
In 1975 David was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. As well as HMSST, he served on other local committees in the pro-active support, with the help of volunteers, of MS community members.
We are grateful. Thank you.
We offer our heartfelt condolences to Betty and the family.

There’s a great evening in store for you if you book in and come along to the Race Night & Fashion Show in aid of HMSST being organised by Number 28 Fabrics & Interiors.
You can e-mail enquiries@hmsst.org for further info.
A wonderful evening was had by many at the latest fund raising evening organised by John Bemand at Brightwells Leominster. Many thanks must go to John for supporting our trust.
The photograph shows John with racings Skelton brothers who came to speak at the event.
HMSST are the beneficiaries of £3,000 donated by Saxtys’ Charity Clay Pigeon Shoot Day. The Saxtys’ Shoot donates annually to local charities. Seen in the picture are John Pitt, Chairman of the Trust, Kay Parker, Shoot Organiser, and Neville Symonds of Saxtys.
The Clay Pigeon Shoot took place at the Griffin Lloyd shooting ground in Knighton on 25 April, and was followed by a sumptuous buffet dinner and prize-giving at Saxtys. Both Saxtys and the Trust thank those who attended for their generous support.
In September 2013 Brightwells organised a Golf Day in support of HMSST. The day raised £750 for the Trust, for which we are very grateful.
