We so look forward to celebrating our marriage with you in September! Had you kindly thought of giving us a gift, we would be so pleased if instead you considered supporting the below charities which mean a great deal to us. Donations will be split equally between:

BookTrust

BookTrust supports children and families from low-income and vulnerable backgrounds to access and enjoy children's literature, particularly in the early years. They provide books and resources for children aged 1–4 to help ensure shared reading is a regular part of their lives. They distribute millions of books to families across the country each year. Their Story Explorers club is designed for adopted and looked after children and is focussed on nurturing feelings of stability, familiarity and security.

Women at the Well

Women at the Well is a support service for women whose lives are impacted by exploitation. Their drop-in centre based in King's Cross is available to any woman who needs support and offers food, hot showers, laundry, clean clothes and gentle activities. They also offer appointment-based one-to-one support and advocacy to women who feel ready to start tackling their health, housing and welfare needs.

Talawa

Talawa is a Black British theatre company which works to champion Black excellence, nurture talent in emerging and established artists of African or Caribbean heritage and tell stories reflecting Black experiences through art. Donations will be made in memory of our beloved friend Marvin Ogbonna-Godfrey.

We are so grateful to you for your generosity.

All love,

Dara, Olivia and Min x
