The X Factor foursome – Josh, George, Jaymi and JJ – are supporting local girl Martha from Sunninghill.

Josh’s mum Kathryn Browne says,”the boys are just thrilled to be helping Martha. We are having a stall at the Victorian Christmas Fair in Sunninghill this Sunday November 18th from noon to 4pm.
A signed photo of the boys will be raffled at the Fair. Proceeds from the raffle will be split in half between Martha McCarthy and two other charities which the Sunninghill Fair are supporting.

 
As long as the boys get through this weekend then FASBAT, a local musical theatre group, will be streaming the X Factor live to their members in Cordes Hall in Sunninghill on November 24th, and we will be looking to raise funds for Martha at this event too.”
 
Martha’s mum, Angela McCarthy is very excited by Union J’s support, “ we are so delighted that the band is going to help Martha.”
