Other info

Your presence is our present, but if you feel inclined to give us a wedding gift, it would mean the world to us if you made a donation to Helen and Douglas House, our local children's hospice that helps terminally ill children live life to the full. Supporting this cause is close to our hearts, not only due to navigating childhood cancer with Tiggy and meeting many children that required end of life care. But more recently, Samantha's nephew's best friend, Hemming, was cared for at Helen and Douglas House. <a href="https://www.justgiving.com/page/samandrichwedding" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Richard Frodin is fundraising for Helen &amp; Douglas House</a>
