Story

Jonny and Simon are getting 'civilly partnered' this year.  We have lived together for over 5 years so there is no need for a toaster, towels or contributions to a washing machine! We are both fortunate enough to have a nice life and have what we need.   We have therefore decided if anyone wants to give a gift that it will go to charity.  We have chosen three charities - Smile Train (www.smiletrain.org.uk), Liberty (www.liberty-human-rights.org.uk) and Brook (www.brook.org.uk) as our charities.  

Smile Train provides funding for surgery for children with cleft palate.  In the UK corrective surgery for cleft palate is freely available.  In other countries it is not, and Smile Train raise funds and provides this surgery where it is most needed.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So dig deep and donate now.
