Melhuish & Saunders are pleased to support organisations in our local community.
We recognise the importance of health and wellbeing and we all share a love of the great outdoors!
Organisations currently sponsored by Melhuish & Saunders:
Somerset Wildlife Trust
Somerset Wildlife Trust is one of 46 Wildlife Trusts working across the UK. We are a science-led movement focused on restoring habitats to support a wide range of wildlife and restore natural processes that are essential for healthy landscapes, and provide vital services such as clean air and water, food, carbon absorption and flood alleviation.
With the invaluable support of volunteers and members we manage over 1700 hectares of land for wildlife and people in Somerset. We also work with other organisations and landowners to protect and connect wildlife sites across the county and inspire local communities and young people to care for wildlife where they live.
Orchard Vale Trust
Orchard Vale Trust is a charity based in Somerset and has been operating for over 30 years. We support adults with learning disabilities to live life to the full by providing personalised support and enabling independence through a number of different projects throughout the community.
Personalisation is at the core of every Orchard Vale Trust activity, focusing on people, their aims, wishes and ambitions. This means we tailor our support to over 100 people, through residential homes and community activities, depending on their needs and wants and interests.
Our staff are highly qualified as well as highly dedicated to supporting individuals on a personal level and we are led by 12 Trustees, who volunteer their time to give advice and direction on governance and the general activities of the Charity. All are skilled professionals, as well as some family members of those receiving support from Orchard Vale Trust.
It is their dedication and expertise that sits as a foundation on which OVT stands and operates, setting us in a leading position for delivering care and support to people with learning disabilities in Somerset.

Mike Dear, Strode College Sports Development Manager:
‘We would like to thank Melhuish and Saunders for sponsoring all of our sports teams. For the first time in nearly 5 years we are able to provide 5 sports teams on a Wednesday afternoon and with M&S on board we will be able to provide all the necessary equipment and resources needed for all teams to compete.’
Somervale Rounder League - Fumblers Rounders Team
Melhuish & Saunders have supported a local rounders team with new kit provisions for a number of years.
Based in Somerset, the league is one of the largest leagues in England with over 300 members.
The season runs from the beginning of May until mid August with matches taking place every Wednesday evening, while the league also runs a knockout cup/plate competition throughout the campaign with these fixtures taking place on Monday evenings. In addition to this, there is also a separate ladies tournament during a weekend in July.
Although primarily a women’s league, the men are not excluded. We have some very knowledgeable male umpires, committee members, trainers & supporters, and a mixed tournament is held in August at Tor Leisure Centre.
