Perennial - Gardeners' Royal Benevolent Society
Our charity of choice for this Virtual Flower Show

Perennial is the UK’s only charity dedicated to helping everyone who works in horticulture, and their families. Perennial provides free and confidential advice, support and financial assistance to people of all ages working in, or retired from horticulture. This help extends to spouses, partners and children.

Perennial’s vision is for every horticulturalist in the UK to know about us and be confident to get in touch if they need our help. We are working hard to increase awareness of Perennial and as a result, the number of people coming to us is growing. Regular donations give us confidence to recruit the caseworkers and debt advisors that are needed to ensure that everyone we help continues to receive the bespoke personal service we currently provide. We receive no government funding. Our work depends entirely on the support of the horticultural industry, its suppliers and the garden loving public.

2020 has of course been an extraordinary year. Given the loss of income we have experienced through the cancellation of all our events this Summer and the increase in calls our Services Dept has had to field during the current crisis your support now would be invaluable. We anticipate the increase in calls for help will only continue as we move through the year when the real consequences of the Covid-19 Pandemic will start to bite.
