Sunflower Memories Appeal
Nothing symbolises Summer quite like the Sunflower. Standing tall and finding the light within the shade, we are excited to see the return of our Sunflower Memories Appeal.
As the sunnier skies and lighter nights grace us with their presence this summer, we bring to you our Sunflower Memories appeal, offering a touching opportunity to gather your family and friends together in remembrance of your loved one and dedicate a special sunflower in their memory.
This annual appeal extends to you, your family, and your friends, inviting reflection upon the cherished moments shared with those who've touched our lives. It's a chance to honour the joy they brought and the happiness they gifted us throughout their life.
This year, we are doing things a little differently by combining our Sunflower Memories Appeal with our annual Open Gardens event. We will be hosting a Garden Party where you can collect your Sunflowers from a sea of yellow in the gardens with your friends and family. We invite you to make a day of it with live musical performances, BBQ, stalls, and more. Soak up the sunny atmosphere this July at what promises to be a magical and meaningful event. - See our events for more details about our Garden Party.
Celebrate the life and legacy of your loved ones in a beautiful and meaningful way and join us on Saturday, 6th July, in The Kirkwood Gardens as we come together to remember your loved ones and celebrate their legacy at our Summer Garden Party.
Make a dedication to someone special
Visit our online dedication page via the button below, where you can add your special message dedicated to your loved ones. You can even add a photo to your online dedication, inviting friends and family to view the page from wherever they might be in the world, staying connected to the everlasting memory of the special people in your life.
When you make a dedication for someone special this Summer, you will receive a commemorative card and a Sunflower plaque bearing the name(s) of those you wish to celebrate. Your plaque will then be 'planted' in and around The Kirkwood Gardens, creating a sea of yellow blooms for you and your family to view and collect on the day of our Garden Party.~
You can also take part in our Sunflower Memories Appeal by calling our friendly Fundraising Team on 01484 557 911, making your dedication over the phone or requesting a paper form to be sent out to you.
The Sunflower Garden Party
Enjoy a summer's day in The Kirkwood Gardens with your family and friends this July and celebrate the lives of your loved ones past and present.
On the day, we invite you to join us in the tranquil settings of The Kirkwood Gardens, where your Sunflower plaques will be on display, waiting for you to view and collect against the beautiful backdrop of our best blooms of the season set to wonderful live musical performances, adding to the atmosphere of the day.
Refreshments will be available throughout the day, including freshly cooked food from our BBQ, and cakes donated by our wonderful supporters. There will also be plenty of stalls to peruse and plants for sale, with the option to donate towards helping our volunteer gardening team continue their incredible work, creating a safe and serene space for our in-patients and their families to enjoy.
