Thank you everyone for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Bryce and I are lucky enough to be having our wedding in the beautiful Cape of South Africa.  We would like to use the opportunity to help those in poorer communities in the area, many of which suffer from high unemployment and HIV infection rates. 

The Garden Route Children's Trust (the GRCT) is a UK-based charity, the aim of which is to alleviate poverty amongst children in South Africa through the provision of food and education. GRCT runs a variety of programmes throughout the Garden Route in the Cape, including the e’Pap Children’s Feeding Project which provides breakfasts to thousands of children in schools in the area. More about the GRCT can be found here: http://www.grct.org.uk. 

The founder of the GRCT, Penny Fleming, is a family friend of the Shipton's who sadly passed away recently following an accident.  Penny was born and grew up in South Africa but, following her move to the UK, she continued to be concerned for those in South Africa who have so little. Our JustGiving drive is in honour of Penny. 

We would be grateful for any contributions you are able to make to the GRCT - every little bit counts for those children!   

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.

Thanks so much again everyone!

Catherine & Bryce
