Thrive is the leading UK charity that uses gardening to bring about positive changes in the lives of people who are living with disabilities or ill health, or are isolated, disadvantaged or vulnerable. This is known as social and therapeutic horticulture (STH).

Story

Wear your Wellies to Work is a fun day where we ask you to go to work, school or college in your welly boots, making a donation to Thrive for the privilege.   

So far we have a choir who have promised to sing in their wellies, charity shop staff spending the day in their boots while serving customers and even a rugby team attempting to play the first half of a match in theirs – what will you do in yours?   

Join in the fun and share your pictures on Facebook and Twitter. We promise you that every £1 raised will make a positive difference in somebody’s life.   

£10 could pay for seeds and dibbers 

£20 could buy a pair of reinforced boots for a disabled gardener 

£50 could cover the cost of creating a personal plot for a client gardener 

£100 could go towards a gardener gaining a City & Guilds qualification in Horticulture   

And as an extra incentive the person who raises the most money will win a stylish Boot Store kindly donated by Forest Garden. 

So what are you waiting for? Give it some welly!
