What’s in a name? It’s Martha’s £85,000 donation
Martha Payne started the NeverSeconds blog six weeks ago, posting pictures and opinions about her school lunches in daily updates to raise money for charity Mary’s Meals.
The website, which Argyll and Bute Council banned, before overturning its ruling after a public outcry, has received nearly six million views and has won the support of celebrity chefs Jamie Oliver and Nick Nairn.
