To celebrate its 25th anniversary in 2024, Greenfingers charity has launched its most ambitious fundraising target yet ­– to raise an incredible £2,000,025.

The initiative – called the Greenfingers Silver Appeal – will ensure the charity can continue its work, creating inspiring gardens in children’s hospices across the UK over the next three years and beyond.

To help achieve this ambitious target, Greenfingers has launched a new partnership programme, which will enable businesses and individuals to pledge their fundraising support for the next three years (or longer), with three new partner ‘packages’ available.

Platinum Partners

Platinum Partners will pledge to raise an incredible £25,000 over three-years. Gifts in kind can be included in the calculations.

In addition to playing a pivotal part in supporting the vital work of Greenfingers Charity, Platinum partners will also enjoy increased engagement with the charity including early access to Greenfingers events, invites to all Greenfingers garden open events and access to a wide range of promotion opportunities.

To-date several leading brands have already confirmed their status as Platinum partners, including Clarins, Evergreen Garden Care, AMES UK, British Garden Centres, GIMA, Woodmansterne, Woodlodge, Garden Trade News, Richard Jacksons Garden and Millbrook Garden Centres.

Silver Partners

Over the next three years, Silver Partners will pledge to raise £10,000, with gifts in kind once again included within the total.

Like Platinum partners, Silver Partners will enjoy a wealth of additional benefits as thanks for their support, including 10 hours support from the Greenfingers team, an invitation to one regional Greenfingers garden opening and ongoing promotion through Greenfingers PR, marketing and social media activity.

Companies that have already confirmed their Silver Partnership status include Deco-Pak, Garden Connect, Hornby Whitefoot PR and Rose Press Garden.

Sterling Ambassadors

Sterling Ambassadors, whether companies or individuals, will pledge to raise £2,500 for Greenfingers, whilst also using their efforts to help further the work of Greenfingers over the next three years.

All Sterling Ambassadors – which so far includes long-term Greenfingers supporter, Kate Ebbens of Capi Europe - will be able to join a quarterly Greenfingers meetings plus have access to fundraising collateral. 

Linda Petrons, Director of Fundraising and Communications at Greenfingers said: “Reaching 25 years will be an incredibly emotional milestone when we look back on all the incredible projects we have so far brought to life. Over the last 22 years we have been able to work in partnership with some of the most amazing businesses and individuals, who together help us to continue our work year after year. Our Silver Appeal is our most ambitious fundraising project yet and already we are overwhelmed by the positive response we’ve received from those we’ve managed to talk to so far. We hope that more will engage with this appeal and know that every penny raised will make a real difference. On behalf of all of us at Greenfingers and all those that spend time in a Greenfingers garden – thank you. We are forever grateful for your generosity.”
