Blue Diamond Garden Centres have proudly named Hospice UK as its Charity Partner of the Year, marking a nationwide commitment to support vital end-of-life care.
Across its 53 garden centres, Blue Diamond will roll out a year-long programme of fundraising initiatives, in-store activities and customer engagement campaigns, encouraging teams and visitors alike to get involved and make a difference. From seasonal events to point-of-sale donations, every centre will play a part in raising funds and awareness.
This partnership will help Hospice UK continue its essential work supporting more than 200 hospices across the UK - ensuring hundreds of thousands of people living with life-limiting conditions, and their families, receive the compassionate care they need. Funds raised will directly contribute to improving access to hospice services, supporting frontline staff, and reaching those who might otherwise miss out on this crucial care.
Together, Blue Diamond and Hospice UK aim to make a meaningful, lasting impact - helping more people live well, right to the end.
