Comment: | The Royal Fund for Gardeners Children aims to help the orphans of gardeners by giving them regular allowances or making grants for special purposes. The scope of the Fund was broadened in 1985, and help can now be offered to needy children not necessarily orphaned, whose parents are or have been employed full time in horticulture. The visiting and counselling service enables individual family needs to be assessed annually. Grants have been given to pay for school fares, special educational facilities, holidays, clothing, bedding etc. |
