Betula's original good idea along with Flighty raised money for Thrive two years ago in which we raised just over £200.

Last year we voted between 3 charities which were

Thrive http://www.thrive.org.uk/
Perennial http://www.perennial.org.uk/
Gardening Leave http://www.gardeningleave.org/

and Gardening Leave just won the poll by 3 votes and we managed to raise £630 which was an amazing total and a big thanks to everyone again.

Please vote and bump the thread now and again if we are not around.

Now this is getting fun only 3 vote between First and Third places

And me being naughty as usual allowed for people to change their vote as well so it could all change yet.....
