Every penny raised through our annual fundraiser, the ‘Great British Garden Party’ makes a difference to the vital nursing and health charities we support. As the single largest funder of Marie Curie’s work, the longest standing partner of Macmillan Cancer Support and a key funder for Hospice UK, Carers Trust, Parkinson’s UK and The Queen’s Nursing Institute our consistent and generous funding is of significant importance to the continuing operations of these charities.
“It’s a wonderful opportunity to share your own outdoor space – whatever it’s like – to remind yourself what a huge comfort it has been in recent months and to share those memories with friends, family and neighbours. Every penny will help, big or small. I’ll be hosting my own tea party with my family and friends. Make cakes, have fun and help us to support these wonderful nursing charities.” Mary Berry
