Children's Hospices repeat flowers campaign

Howard Lake | 20 January 2005 | News

Following its success last year, the Association of Children’s Hospices is running its Foresters Flowers for Children again in Spring 2005.

Corporate sponsors Foresters, and their members, will be raising money for ACH and local children’s hospices across the UK through this campaign.

Foresters have purchased 15,000 packets of seeds featuring a Butterfly mix of flower seeds. Each packet should attract a minimum donation of £1, and all proceeds will go directly to the hospices.

We chose a butterfly as it conveys so aptly the shortened and fragile life of those children using children’s hospice services explained Barbara Gelb, Chief Executive of the Association of Children’s Hospices.
