The Shop
The Amy May Trust shop aims to redefine how we shop while contributing to a cause; placing quality materials, care and bespoke at the centre of each product selection and design.
Our mission is to educate all communities on the seriousness of nut allergies
A catastrophic allergic reaction to a trace of nut in 2014 left Amy May Shead severely brain damaged; unable to talk, walk or see, wheelchair-bound and requiring round-the-clock and life-long care. With a primary goal to raise necessary funds to support Amy, The Amy May Trust has become a trusted voice in the allergy community as we expand our mission to educate every community around the globe on the seriousness of allergies.
Our Work
Our Trustees and Patrons
The Amy May Trust is run day-to-day on an entirely voluntary basis by Julie and Tom Martin, Aunt and Cousin of Amy who founded the Trust in 2015, a year after Amy’s incident. Both undertake a balance of responsibilities divided between strategic direction, governance, oversight and fundraising. Amy’s devoted parents are also Trustees, while Amy’s past colleagues and friends at ITV, Eamonn Holmes OBE and Ruth Langsford have been our Patrons since 2020.
