Greenfingers

Thrive
Thrive is a small national charity, founded in 1978, that uses gardening to change the lives of disabled people.

Gardening Leave

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.

Thanks to everyone that has voted already  ;)

Not as many votes as last year though as we need another 21 voters to match that total.

Still another 2 days to go so the choice is still up for grabs still as I am sure some are holding back till the last moment.

Keep bumping folks  ;D
