We are supporting the BALI Chalk Fund and Greenfingers Charity in 2025.

Read below about the wonderful work the charities do and how you can help.

BALI Chalk Fund

The BALI Chalk Fund charity, set up in 1975 as the Geoffrey Chalk Memorial Fund in honour of one of the founder members of the British Association of Landscape Industries (BALI), now boasts:

  • over 50 industry Champion supporters

  • a growing role call of almost 70 Top Student Awards

  • an average annual funded contribution of £40,000 towards work-ready practical training

  • a 50 year-long history of blazing a trail for future professionals within the UK landscape industry.

 The funds raised through donations and Champions are ploughed into education and training across the landscape sector, working closely with BALI, GoLandscape and similar initiatives to maximise reach and impact.

Through its Enrichment Programme, Grant Awards and Student of the Year recognition, those graduating and building their careers in the land-based sector can gain creditable work-ready, practical, translatable skills for that all-important bridge from study to career growth.

 

greenfingers charity

Greenfingers Charity is a national charity dedicated to creating well-designed outdoor spaces for children to enjoy with their family, friends and siblings, whether through play and fun, or therapeutic rest and relaxation. The charity is driven by the belief that time spent outdoors, away from the bedside, can offer children and families under considerable stress a vital opportunity to embrace the benefits of being in the fresh air and engaging with the natural environment.

Celebrating its 25th Anniversary this year, Greenfingers continues to be committed to creating specially designed, stimulating garden spaces that can bring many benefits to children with life-limiting conditions. Whilst many people may take for granted the simple pleasure of being able to enjoy a garden, for these children, their siblings and their families, the chance to spend time together outdoors and away from the bedside is precious.
