Vicki, deputy chief executive officer with the project said: “We had been told the charity had been put forward for a place at the Royal Wedding, but we were also told that there had been hundreds of others also been nominted so an invite wasn’t a certainty.
“We received the letter to say we were invited a few weeks ago. It’s so exciting not just for us attending but the fact the charity has been recognised for all the work that we do.
