Hillier raises money for Abby's Heroes

Accredited Supplier, Hillier has announced its initiative for its charity partner, Abby’s Heroes. The charity supports children receiving cancer treatment and their families who come under the care of the Piam Brown and the Teenagers and Young Adults wards at the University Hospital Southampton.

This month is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, a subject naturally very close to the heart of the charity, and Hillier is supporting the cause by raising awareness and vital funds for Abby’s Heroes. Hillier has been donating £2 for every 2-litre Heuchera purchased at any of its 22 garden centres or online throughout September and has also been donating £5 to Abby’s Heroes from every afternoon tea for two sold in its restaurants. 

Chris Francis, Hillier Garden Centre and Wholesale Nurseries Director, commented:

“We are delighted to announce our fundraising initiatives for Abby’s Heroes this month, as part of marking Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Heuchera is a beautiful plant that we hope will be very popular with our customers. Afternoon tea is a wonderful experience and a lovely way for our customers to spend quality time together, something that is incredibly important to the children and families supported by Abby’s Heroes.”

Hillier has pledged to support the charity over the course of two years through fundraising activities and providing advice and expertise. Abby’s Heroes, supporting families in the south of the country, is located close to several Hillier Garden Centres. Hillier hopes to raise awareness in local areas of the work the charity does.

In addition to the Hillier initiatives, there are many other ways to support Abby’s Heroes, including the Hillier Just Giving page, Amazon Smile, and Abby’s Heroes Lottery.
