Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
Because it's finally happening! Yes, Karen and Clayton are getting married this June!
We need no gifts and we are happy to receive just Love and Good Wishes from our friends and family. However, if you do wish to make a gift, we would love it if you could give in the form of a donation.
To celebrate our wedding, we are fundraising for a charity and organisation that is close to our heart. For several years our ethical textile business (Second Nature Online) has been a proud partner of the international GoodWeave network which aims to stop child labour in the global supply chain. Permanently.
160 Million children are forced into labour across the globe. Some are as young as five years old. These children may never have the opportunity to go to school and they are at terrible risk of trafficking, injury and exploitation. Without any education, they have little hope of ever escaping this cycle.
GoodWeave has rescued over 9,700 children, provided educational opportunities to more than 45,000 children, and prevented hundreds of thousands of children from entering labor. They have achieved so much but recent global events have made things tough for the movement.
A new toaster for us? Or the gift of education and safety for a child? There’s no contest!
Please give whatever you are comfortable with. It would make us so happy to know that we have helped such a great cause. We will be contributing to this ourself as we want to make sure we smash that target and beyond! ❤️❤️❤️
