What an amazing event! It was compulsive viewing - I was particularly taken by Freddie Mercury!

A HUGE thank you from Thrive. Every year, we help over 8000 disabled people to improve their  lives using gardening. The £1,222 you raised will fund a disabled persoon for 6 months on our Working it Out gardening programme which runs in London. Working it Out is a 2 year work shadowing programme which gives disabled Londoners the support thy need to get the skills they need to earn a living from gardening/landscaping. It really works! Don't just take it from me though. This is what some of our trainees say

"If it wasn't for Thrive, I might be stuck in a dead end job or doing nothing. Thanks to Thrive I have a good life, a qualification and two jobs"

"Thrive has given me a future to think about, whereas before I didn't feel I had that"

"Nothing is too much for Thrive staff. I love every part of the course and have really improved my confidence"

Just have a look at Tom and Rob's stories on our website at www.thrive.org.uk

After 18 months running the programme we now have many people ready to start work - if you or someone you know could provide even a very limited amount of part time work, it could set someone back on their feet.....all have a Level 2 City & Guilds hort qualification and have had extensive work training
