Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Throughout lockdown we, like so many others, realised the importance of our gardens to our physical and mental wellbeing.  We know just how lucky we are to have a garden, and how important gardens are for those who are struggling and suffering with a variety of challenges to their health. Therefore we can think of no better charity to support than Greenfingers Charity. 

Greenfingers is a national charity dedicated to supporting children who spend time in hospices around the UK, along with their families, by creating inspiring gardens for them to relax in and benefit from, whether through play and fun, or therapeutic rest and relaxation. So many of us take for granted the simple pleasure of being able to enjoy a garden. For these children, their siblings and their families, the chance to spend time together outdoors and away from the bedside is precious.

Our garden is not pristine, definitely not a Wisley or a Kew, and we probably can't tell you the names of half the plants, but it is special to us, has been a labour of love, and we'd love you to support this charity in its name.

Please help us raise funds for this small but very special charity.

Richard and Cheryl xx
