Story

My heart goes out to all of those affected by the war in Ukraine. I'm sure you all share that feeling of hopelessness and how incredibly lucky we are to live in peace the UK, so along with my fellow flowery friends, we've decided to make a traditional Ukrainian Vinok or flower crown to raise money for those that are in desperate need.

On Thursday 24th March 2022, we'll be flooding facebook with images of our beautiful Vinoks and flower crowns on our social media pages.
Here's mine - it was such a joy to make! Please take a look at our website for more info and credits.
I hope it warms your heart to support this worthwhile charity.


As a special thank you to all those that donate, we'll be sending you a link to learn how to make your very own flower crown - just email us at Thrive hq once you've donated and we'll be in touch!

Your donation of £30 could provide essential hygiene supplies for three people for one month.  £50 could provide blankets for 4 families to keep them warm.  £100 could provide emergency food for two families for one month. 

Intense conflict in Ukraine is threatening the lives and livelihoods of civilians across the country, causing hundreds of thousands to flee. Homes have been destroyed or are unsafe to live in. Essential services have been hit. Families have been separated. People have been injured. Lives have been lost.  DEC charities and their local partners are in Ukraine and across the border in the neighbouring countries. They are working to meet the immediate needs of all people fleeing with food, water, medical assistance, protection and trauma care.

Thank you ♡
