Our history In 1905 the tireless Muriel Chase writing as 'Aunt Mary', invited the readers of the Children's Corner to join her 'little union of nephews and nieces' so that they might help the less fortunate children of their community. 'Aunt Mary' was believed to have been inspired by a suggestion from a boundary rider, Arthur Grundy. Arthur Grundy described his vision of a community organisation in his letter to the Western Mail newspaper in 1904. His vision was inspired by a silver chain which he had found along a rabbit proof fence.
