Our partnership with the National Garden Scheme
Macmillan Cancer Support and the National Garden Scheme have a unique partnership. Together, we open beautiful private gardens to the public to transform lives.
The National Garden Scheme has donated over £18 million to Macmillan Cancer Support since 1984. They have helped fund care units in Bristol and Chesterfield. This includes 150 Macmillan nurses and vital professionals. Together, we inspire more people to visit gardens to enjoy the sense of wellbeing a beautiful outdoor space can bring.
Visiting these exceptional gardens helped us open the doors to the Y Bwthyn NGS Macmillan Specialist Palliative Care Unit in Wales, our latest joint project. This is the direct result of a shared commitment to supporting people when they need us most. We were delighted that His Royal Highness Prince Charles, The Prince of Wales, visited the state of the art unit in July 2021.
