The Murphy Young Foundation has provided support to a Scottish mother and daughter of primary school age who have suffered serious abuse in the former home and now also struggle financially. Schooling is clearly already difficult but made worse by having to try and remotely school using only a mobile phone. The Foundation has been able to support by funding a new laptop computer for school work and some winter clothes and boots. Such circumstances are unthinkable for most households and it is hoped the support will offer some assistance for this family. The family was introduced by the Moria Anderson Foundation.

Michael is just 35 years old and had previously been employed as a HGV driver, but suffered a serious assault inflicting serious head injuries. Michael was placed into an induced coma for 7 days and subsequently developed a number of longterm health issues. He now suffers from significant epileptic activity, memory loss, PTSD and organic brain disease. His sole carer and Mum is anxious to do as much as possible to help him live as independently as is possible, given his disabilities, but recognises that his seizures could strike at any time, resulting in a need for help.

MY Foundation has provided Michael with an Embrace 2 seizure watch which is able to recognise the symptoms of a seizure and notify a carer or other monitoring parties that the wearer requires help. The watch gives everyone an added level of safety and assurance that Michael can get help when he needs it.

The Murphy Young Foundation has delivered a van of food as a donation to the Viewpark foodbank serving an area near to the MY Group head office. The foodbank does fantastic work serving the local community

Andrew Stevenson (Associate Director) and Alistair Murray (MY Property) delivered the donation.
