The power of love

Derrina and Simon Thomas got married in the summer of 2021, and chose to support Ella’s as part of their beautiful wedding. 

We were over the moon to hear from Derrina and Simon when they were planning their big day. They wanted to make a gift to Ella’s to mark the occasion, and include their guests by having Ella’s themed favours.

We talked through some ideas and settled on chocolate brownies made by Halimot, one of the amazing women we work with who runs a baking business. Each brownie was packed in a bag with an Ella’s tag. They looked gorgeous and they tasted even better!    

‘It was great to support a charity that is close to both of our hearts. Our wedding day and marriage is incredibly significant but part of who we are called to be as a couple is giving, so we also wanted to give something back to a charity we love and admire on behalf of our guests,’ says Derrina.

‘We chose Ella’s because we love all of the work they do in caring for women who have been trafficked or sexually exploited.’

Thank you so much Derrina and Simon, for your generosity, and the joy of being part of your special day. And we wish you every possible happiness for the years to come!

If you’re inspired to donate your own occasion for Ella’s, we’d love to hear all about it and support you however we can.
