Greenfingers Charity is proud to announce a one-of-a-kind partnership with Ball Colegrave, a collaboration rooted in the shared belief that every child deserves a space to grow, dream, and connect with nature. This sponsorship represents more than a donation—it’s a heartfelt commitment to nurturing joy, healing, and hope in children’s hospices across the UK.
This spring, Ball Colegrave generously donated a vibrant selection of Impatiens Beacon® plants to Greenfingers Charity. These cheerful blooms are now brightening hospice gardens nationwide, offering comfort and colour to children and families during some of life’s most challenging moments.
At Helen & Douglas House in Oxford, staff shared their delight: “How fantastic the Beacons look in the garden—they've added a very welcome burst of colour, when some of our other plants have struggled in the heat!”
Keech Hospice also expressed heartfelt appreciation: “This is a thoughtful gift that will contribute towards the continued care and support that Keech Hospice provides for all our patients and their families at some of the most challenging times of their lives. Without this type of generosity, we wouldn’t be able to provide the services that are so greatly needed, and most importantly, to ensure our patients’ final moments are special ones.”
Linda Petrons, Director of Fundraising & Communications at Greenfingers Charity, reflected on the impact: “Impatiens Beacon is more than a flower. These beautiful blooms have brought colour and comfort to hospice gardens, and we’re deeply grateful to Ball Colegrave and all our partners who help us plant smiles every day. Together, we’re growing spaces that offer a place to play, care, grow, learn and create precious memories for life-limited children and their families.
Greenfingers Charity invites everyone to be part of something very special....whether through purchasing Impatiens Beacon®, making a donation, volunteering, or simply spreading the word—every action helps bring smiles to children who need it most.
