Thompson & Morgan donations total £42,000 with recent cheque
Thompson & Morgan is proudly supporting The Treehouse Appeal, a brand new hospice in Ipswich built by EACH (East Anglia’s Childrens’ Hospice) and officially opened in March this year by its Royal Patron, HRH The Duchess of Cambridge. In June, T&M was thrilled to send a cheque for £15,000 to Greenfingers, a charity that creates gardens at children’s hospices nationwide and which is charged with designing and establishing a garden and recreational area outside the new hospice in Ipswich. This brings the total given by Thompson & Morgan to this worthwhile charity to £42,000.
The money has been raised through a variety of fundraising activities by T&M staff. These have included:
- Cake sales
- Bedding plant sales
- Easter Egg competition
- Staff donations
Thompson & Morgan has also appealed to its customers for donations. Stunning Rose ‘The One and Only’ (pictured left) has been featured in a number of T&M catalogues and on its website. £5 from the sale of each rose has been donated to The Treehouse Garden Appeal. Thompson & Morgan is proud to have been able to raise money for this very worthy appeal and other fund-raising events are planned. All the funds raised go towards delivering vital care and support for children and their families.
Customers wishing to contribute to the Treehouse Appeal can buy Thompson & Morgan’s Rose ‘The One and Only’, with £2 from each sale this year going to the fund-raising effort for the gardens.
