Since 1986 The Park Garden Trail has raised nearly £250k 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 2025 have closed, and will re-open in February 2027 - please email us at [email protected] if you would like your charity to be included in our mailing list.
We were delighted to suppor these charities in 2025:
