Having you celebrate our special day with us is truly the only gift we need.
However, if you were thinking of buying us a wedding gift, we would love for you to consider making a donation instead.
We have chosen three charities that are incredibly close to our hearts, each for very personal reasons.
Each of these causes has touched our lives in different ways, and being able to give something back in their honour would mean so much to us.
There is absolutely no expectation to donate, but if you do wish to give, we would be incredibly grateful.
With love, Carla & James x
A GIFT THAT MEANS SOMETHING
Cancer Research & Support
Cancer is a cause very close to our hearts, having touched our family and loved ones in many different ways, including breast cancer, prostate cancer and other forms of the disease.
We have chosen to support The Christie Charity in Manchester which helps fund pioneering cancer research, innovative treatments and vital care and support for patients and their families.
The Christie is one of the UK’s leading cancer centres, making a difference to thousands of people facing a cancer diagnosis.
By supporting this charity, we hope to contribute towards better treatments, improved care and, ultimately, a future where fewer families have to experience the impact of cancer.
Alzheimer’s & Dementia Care
Dementia and Alzheimer’s are causes very close to our hearts, having personally affected our family and loved ones.
We have chosen to support Together Dementia Support, a wonderful Manchester-based charity dedicated to improving the lives of people living with dementia and supporting the families who care for them.
Through friendship groups, social activities, home visits and vital support for carers, the charity helps people living with dementia feel connected, valued and less alone.
By supporting this charity, we hope to make a difference to local families facing the challenges of dementia, bringing companionship, comfort and support when it is needed most.
The Charity That Cares 24 Hours A Day
Animal rescue is a cause incredibly close to our hearts. We are both passionate advocates for rescue animals and giving them the love, care and second chances they deserve. All of our own beloved fur babies are rescues, so we know firsthand just how much love and happiness these wonderful animals bring into our lives.
We have chosen to support Animals in Distress, a Manchester-based animal rescue charity dedicated to helping abandoned, neglected and vulnerable animals, providing them with shelter, veterinary care and the opportunity to find loving forever homes.
We believe every animal deserves to feel safe, loved and cared for, regardless of their age, breed or circumstances.
By supporting this charity, we hope to give more animals a second chance at happiness and the loving homes they deserve.
With love, paws and a little bit of mischief,
