NGS Beneficiary Charities Thank You

Since 1927, we have raised almost £42 million to support these charities; £25 million in the last 10 years.  We keep overheads low, so most of your donation goes straight to our charities.

The NGS is Macmillan Cancer Support's biggest single donor, donating over £11.6 million and funding 130 Macmillan services, such as nursing posts, financial advice, and counselling, helping thousands of people affected by cancer. Support to Marie Curie Cancer Care funds the Marie Curie Nursing Service, providing free high quality nursing care giving people with terminal illness the choice of dying at home, supported by their families.

Over 2 million UK carers of working age (that’s 66 per cent) combine work and caring. Our donation allows Crossroads to support working carers. In 2008 the NGS assisted Help the Hospices with funding towards training for nurses and hospice staff, so they can give the best possible care. The NGS keeps up its tradition of funding nursing care through The Queen’s Nursing Institute. Our donation to The Royal Fund for Gardeners’ Children supports orphaned and needy horticulturist’s children. With our support, Perennial – Gardeners’ Royal Benevolent Society, helps people from the gardening trades who are in need. Our donation to The National Trust to trains the heritage gardeners of the future.

All of this has been made possible by you, visiting NGS gardens.  A very big THANK YOU for all your support!
