Hellens Garden Festival continues support for St Michael's with £16K donation
Sell-out summer Festival has donated almost £120K to St Michael’s over the years
An annual garden festival has continued its commitment to St Michael’s by donating thousands of pounds from this year’s event.
Hellens Garden Festival handed over £16,100 to us following June’s sold-out two-day spectacular at the beautiful Much Marcle venue.
The generous donation means Hellens has now donated almost £120,000 to St Michael’s over the course of the Festival’s near 20-year history.
“Each year, the support we receive from Hellens Garden Festival is astounding,” said Rachel Jones, the Hospice’s Income Generation, Marketing & Communications Director.
“As a charity firmly rooted in our community, it is so fitting that an event bringing joy to those in that community, along with many further afield, has become such a great friend.
“Thank you to everyone who attended this year’s Festival; those who ran a stand; and those who run such an important and loved event.”
This year’s Festival carried the theme ‘Waste to Wonder’. Beneficiaries also included £4,600 to the Back to the Wild Community Interest Company, and £2,300 to The Recycling Shop CIC in Newent.
Next year’s Festival will take place on 7-8th June.
