Charity Partners
We are supporting the BALI Chalk Fund and Greenfingers Charity in 2024.
Read below about the wonderful work the charities do and how you can help.
BALI Chalk Fund
The BALI Chalk Fund was established in 1975 with a legacy from the widow of Geoffrey Chalk, owner of Gavin Jones and founder member of the British Association of Landscape Industries.
The fund is used to support education and training in the landscape sector and has established strong links with the Association’s GoLandscape initiative and other like-minded organisations to assist with delivering its key objectives.
The trust’s current focus is to establish and develop an effective enrichment programme designed to ensure that graduates from partner colleges enter the workforce with the necessary skills, knowledge and, where required, certification, making them highly employable and work-ready individuals.
greenfingers charity
Greenfingers Charity is a national charity dedicated to creating well-designed outdoor spaces for children to enjoy with their family, friends and siblings, whether through play and fun, or therapeutic rest and relaxation. The charity is driven by the belief that time spent outdoors, away from the bedside, can offer children and families under considerable stress a vital opportunity to embrace the benefits of being in the fresh air and engaging with the natural environment.
Celebrating its 25th Anniversary this year, Greenfingers continues to be committed to creating specially designed, stimulating garden spaces that can bring many benefits to children with life-limiting conditions. Whilst many people may take for granted the simple pleasure of being able to enjoy a garden, for these children, their siblings and their families, the chance to spend time together outdoors and away from the bedside is precious.
