Both Helen and I love cats and dogs, and admire the work that Battersea does to look after abandoned and stray animals. We would like to pass on some of the joy and happiness of our special day to those that Battersea are caring for, after all we have had so much love and joy from our very own Battersea cat, Charlie, for the last 6 years!

We are so saddened by the abuse and neglect many pets suffer in our society, often being dumped or thrown out. Animals like this are not prepared or used to living alone on the streets, and that is why places like Battersea are so important.

It would mean so much if our wedding guests would like to make a donation on our behalf as an alternative to buying us a wedding gift. Any donation big or small is appreciated. Thank you on behalf Simon, Helen, and especially Charlie.
