CHARITIES and CAMPAIGNS
We have supported two main charities each year and give 100% of all profits to them. In 2023 we were delighted to have raised £5,350 in a year that we were officially closed! This is largely to do with plant sales.
FUNDRAISING 2011 TO 2025
* Up to half the money raised for Stay Up Late was match- funded by other charitable giving. (When that is factored in it would take our Stay Up Late total to around £70,000 over the years).
** After several years of not opening for the Seaford Garden Trails, we stepped back into the trails in 2023,2024 and 2025. It is hard to work out our contribution to the trails but, for example, in 2025 alone the trails raised £11,843 for NGS and £3,471 for other charities.
*** Most of this donation will receive an additional 25% in gift aid as did some of the other donations over the years.

National Garden Scheme When we open for NGS, 100% of admission money and 50% of tea profits go to NGS and 50% of tea profits have gone to Stay Up Late up to 2024. Money raised from plant sales until 2024 usually went to Stay Up Late, but in 2025 it was also used to support Seaford Horticultural Society, which became a charity in 2025. NGS in turn supports a range of nursing and healthcare charities. In 2025 Open Gardens across the country raised £4 million. |
