Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.</p> <p>We chose Thrive for donations in lieu of wedding presents (NB we got married on 19th March) because it offers the amazing healing power of working in a garden to people facing physical or mental health challenges and older folk. We both love gardening - and so did Rob and Ann. The best wedding present we could have is to see more people able to access Thrive's services to discover just how much they can do in a garden and what joy it can bring them.&nbsp; We will visit Thrive's projects later this year and will be really chuffed to think that through you, we will have contributed to their work. &nbsp;</p> <p>Please feel free to keep the amount you give to yourself - we don't want anyone to be embarrassed or feel there is a certain amount they should give. We've not set a target - whatever we raise, it'll be used well.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to Thrive and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - we raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
