Since 1986 The Park Garden Trail has raised nearly £100k for charity. Our emphasis is donating to small, local charities (and not-for-profit organisations) that help the Nottingham/shire community.

Each PGT supports 10 small, local charities, which are requested to provide four volunteers to assist on the day. Charity applications for now PGT2023 are now closed, and we will be in touch with those who have applied, by end of March 2023. Charity applications for PGT2025 will open in February 2025 - for further details about what is involved in being a PGT charity, please click here


We were delighted to support these charities in 2019:

Stonebridge is an inner-city farm and community charity, based in St Ann's. The farm has existed for over 40 years and through our operation we are (a) a visitor centre - where entrance remains free, and (b) a support, training and education centre. Our Mission is to Empower the Disadvantaged, Develop the Local Community and Protect the Environment.

The West Area Project (WAP) is a charity which has been based in Lenton since 1985. Our day service provides activities for people with learning disabilities and/or autism. Our aims are to remain 'small and beautiful' and promote healthy living, physical activity and the use of mainstream community services.

Windmill Community Garden aims to showcase "growing" in ways which are environmentally sound and minimum waste. We are a refuge for individuals with mental health or physical health problems and for those on the autistic spectrum. We also support our local school and community groups with themed visits to us and outreach.

Sharewear Clothing Scheme provides emergency clothing, shoes and bedding to people in Nottinghamshire currently in crisis.

PGT will be supporting MySight's 'My Guide' Service, which aims to reduce the loneliness and isolation that many people with sight loss experience; helping people rebuild their confidence, regain their independence and get more out of life.

... so every cream tea, garden plant or glass of fizz sold gives a little help to each of these charities.
