J. Parker’s in the Community

One of our goals for 2023, especially as a family business, is to give back to local charities and community groups. Internally, our community team works hard with charities to give something back to local communities in any way we can.

Since 2021, we have worked with five local charities to help them bring their projects to life. This includes organisations like Manchester Mind, Northern Care Alliance NHS, Mid-Cheshire Bee Committee, and more!

Our community team ensures that we are always on the lookout for charities that would benefit from our assistance. Our goal is to encourage an interest in horticulture and gardening, which these charities promote on their own. Hand in hand, our aim is always to encourage and support, in whatever way we can. With more projects in the pipeline for 2023 alone, we’re excited to see what the future brings. Stay up to date with our projects via our blog and social media.

NorthCare

In 2022, we partnered up with NorthCare - the official charity of Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust. Their Greater Manchester homes provide patients with onsite care and rehabilitation. So far, we have injected life into a rundown garden in Worsley, giving patients and employees a place to unwind. We hope to partner more with NorthCare in the future.

Manchester Mind

Manchester Mind is a local mental health charity that has provided support to the people of Manchester for over 30 years. We’ve been partnered with Manchester Mind since 2021, collaborating with them on local mental health projects. We have so far assisted Manchester Mind to provide their patients with an outlet that promotes wellness.

Mid-Cheshire Bee Committee

The Mid-Cheshire Bee Committee helps spread awareness of the importance of pollinators, as well as providing keen participants with the opportunity for mentorship and training on beekeeping. In 2023, our goal is to help boost their training program and fund the cost of their first beehive at their training site in Northwich - plus regular monthly donations to help them continue their beekeeping efforts.

Home Start, Trafford, Salford and Wigan

Home Start is a community-based support group that helps new parents settle into their new lifestyle. Trained volunteers visit families regularly, all of whom know how hard parenting can be at times, to provide advice and guidance where needed. J. Parker’s will soon assist with fundraising and projects to show how gardening can support local families.

Garden Needs

Garden Needs is a dedicated community group based in Salford that supports the local community through horticulture. They help people connect with nature and gardening, promoting a healthier and happier lifestyle. This service is free to Salford-based residents, providing them with peer support and outdoor activities. J. Parker’s will provide plants like trees and shrubs, as well as regular support on ongoing projects (like building a new plant border) and knowledge sharing.
