Mark Trevor Roberts MBE
Mark Roberts MBE
On the morning of 10th February 2015, Mark Roberts, the founding trustee of the St Jude Foundation, passed away peacefully in his sleep, at the age of 78. He was a teacher throughout his adult life and was the headmaster of Rectory Paddock School for handicapped children in Orpington, Kent. Although retired for many years, he gave his last lesson only 3 weeks ago.
Mark lived a life dedicated to others. His good deeds are too numerous to mention, but principally in later years he was responsible for helping to set up the Heri Special School in Mporoto, Tanzania. With the help of generous donations to the St Jude Foundation, the school has been built and equipped and today has some 40 pupils, both disabled and non-disabled.
It is our aim to continue supporting the Heri Special School over the coming years and to carry on the work that Mark started, we will provide further information about this as soon as possible. We would like to thank everyone who has supported the project so far and we would of course be very grateful for any donations towards Mark’s charity.
