We are grateful for your kindness and giving to our chosen charity in lieu of a wedding gift.
Without being presumptuous, we request, that in case you were kind enough to think of gifts for our wedding, we ask instead, that a donation is made to the Evening Standard “Get London Reading” campaign.
From the Evening Standard:
One in four children leaves London's primary schools unable to read properly. This is a betrayal of our children because reading is an essential tool for life. That is why we have launched our Get London Reading campaign. We are joining forces with Volunteer Reading Help, a charity that trains ordinary adults to go into London's most deprived primary schools to provide one-on-one reading support for struggling pupils. They are a huge success. But they need more volunteers, and more donations to fund their support. We ask you to be part of the solution: volunteer today, donate today - and change lives.
This will make us very happy and we hope that the children will benefit from any donations and be introduced to the wonderment that books can offer.
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity of our choice "Get London Reading" and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer.
With love and thanks, Peter and Berni
