London Stone are thankful<br />
to be part of an industry with<br />
such camaraderie, where new<br />
talent is nurtured and successes<br />
are celebrated together. But<br />
when times are hard, it’s also an<br />
industry that rallies round with<br />
support. We are exceptionally<br />
proud to be a partner to two<br />
charitable organisations within<br />
the horticultural industry who do<br />
just that - give a lifeline to those in<br />
need.<br />
Greenfingers<br />
Greenfingers builds gardens for<br />
children’s hospices, working<br />
closely with each to ensure the<br />
design suits the needs of the<br />
children who come to stay. The<br />
gardens offer a place for children<br />
and their families to socialise<br />
and play, and for therapy and<br />
reflection. They give parents and<br />
siblings the chance to be together<br />
away from the bedside and the<br />
medical environment. Greenfingers<br />
has already built and supports<br />
forty-nine hospice gardens, but<br />
many more are needed.<br />

#Supporting Our Industry<br />
Perennial<br />
Perennial is the UK’s only charity dedicated to helping people who work<br />
in, or are retired from horticulture when times get tough. Started in 1839,<br />
when custodians of Britain’s great estates and landowners came together<br />
to start pensions for their sick, injured and elderly gardeners. Fast<br />
forward 177 years: they now provide free and confidential advice, support<br />
and financial assistance to people of all ages who work in any area of the<br />
trade. From gardeners to landscapers, growers to green keepers; their<br />
nationwide team of professional, highly trained Caseworkers and Debt<br />
Advice Specialists work tirelessly to get the UK’s horticulturists back on<br />
their feet and to rebuild lives. www.perennial.org.uk<br />
