Success story

Organic Blooms

Organic Blooms successfully raised £32,963 from 268 amazing supporters in 33 days, in order to purchase more growing space for their cut-flower farm.

Every flower they grow and every stem they sell helps them to train someone who has struggled to find work because of a learning difficulty, autistic spectrum disorder or long term mental health condition.
