Celebrate with us this summer by hosting a Garden Gathering! Simply invite your friends, family, colleagues, or local community to your event and encourage everyone attending to donate in recognition of a wonderful occasion.
Your Garden Gathering can be any kind of event you like. Whether you picnic in the park or at the beach with your family, gather with friends for drinks on your balcony, enjoy a spot of tea and cake with your colleagues, or barbecue in the garden with your local community, every gathering has the power to change people’s lives. Your donations will help people adjusting to life-changing spinal injuries across the UK.

Invite your friends, family, colleagues, and community to gather with you on your chosen date using our poster, invitation, and social media templates – spread the word via WhatsApp, email, social media or however you keep in touch.
Decorate with our Garden Gathering bunting, fill vases with summer blooms, and consider some of the creative ways you might like to raise money at your gathering. You might like to do a plant or cake sale, or perhaps you’d like to teach guests how to create their own terrarium or make a Horatio’s Spritz cocktail – if so, our tutorial films are here to help!
