Horatio’s Garden
I have supported Horatio’s Garden on various projects throughout 2025 including promoting fundraising events and initiatives, a new garden opening and interviewing and writing up various stories for both media and marketing purposes.
Projects include:
Sheffield Garden Opening - HRH The Princess Royal opened the new Horatio’s Garden Sheffield. I supported the communications team with regional PR outreach. Coverage secured included: BBC, Yorkshire Post, Hello, Country Living and Horticulture Week.
Rachel de Thame talk - the charity held a fundraising talk with gardener Rachel de Thame. I supported with targeted PR and stakeholder engagement. Coverage included Country Living, The Dirt, Londonist as well as multiple inclusions in gardening group newsletters and social media mentions.
Art auction - as part of the charity’s fundraising they held an online art auction, raising over £60k to help them continue their work. I supported with strategic planning and regional PR and worked alongside an art PR specialist. I secured 14 pieces of regional and national coverage including MSN, Yahoo and multiple regional titles.
Storytelling: I interviewed and placed multiple case study stories in media and for the charity’s website. Coverage included: Independent, Mirror, Manchester Evening News, Daily Record, Glasgow Live, The Star, Derbyshire Times and Rotherham Advertiser.
