Attending weddings is an expensive business and we really appreciate you making the effort to join us. We don't expect any gifts whatsoever. However, if you'd like to, you can make a contribution to Assist. Assist is a Sheffield charity which helps destitute asylum seekers by providing accommodation, advice and other support to those in most need or distress. In the face of growing government cuts and public hostility towards asylum seekers, they help over 200 cases a year, with just 3.5 full time staff. They're reliant on donations and a network of over 100 volunteers. We've hosted two of their clients so far.
