Our gardens are funded entirely by the generosity of people like you.
There are lots of ways you can donate including setting up a regular monthly donation, giving in memory, leaving a gift in your will, giving in celebration or donating shares. Every single donation makes a real difference.
Regular giving – our Friends Programme
By becoming a Friend of Horatio’s Garden and supporting with a regular donation, you will improve the lives of people with spinal injuries across the UK and help us plan ahead for the future.
If you have a special connection with one of our gardens, you can choose to support it with your regular gift.
Friends of Horatio’s Garden receive:
- A Horatio’s Garden lapel badge
- A small Emma Bridgewater Horatio’s Garden mug (for regular donations of £10 or more)
Become a Patron
Join our Patrons scheme to become part of an extraordinary group of donors who share our mission. Your support makes it possible to ensure people with spinal injuries get the beautiful spaces they need.
We offer invitations to exclusive events – talks, drinks reception for Chelsea Flower Show and an annual visit to a private garden – and recognition in all that we do.
As a Patron, you can choose to support us at three different levels:
- £2,500 a year supports one patient and their family and friends to benefit from the garden for a whole year
- £5,000 a year supports two patients and their family and friends to benefit from the garden for a whole year
- £10,000 year supports four patients and their family and friends to benefit from the garden for a whole year
Your support includes a benefits value of £250, which is what it costs the charity to deliver them. Any amount given more than this counts as a donation, which is VAT exempt and is eligible for Gift Aid.
If you would like to discuss becoming a Patron, please get in touch by calling Olivia on 01722 326834, or by emailing Olivia@horatiosgarden.org.uk

Donate in celebration

A gift in your will
Leaving a gift in your will of any amount is a tax efficient and wonderful way to support us for the future.
