Our Philosophy

What We Do

Floral Hearts is a flower arranging club that goes into the heart of the community providing a taught/led flower arrangement workshop -for the elderly, disabled or disadvantaged in any way- in a safe, friendly space.

Run in Community and Day Centres Floral Hearts is available in the heart of every community and is a social enterprise that exists to fill the void in a lonely person’s life as well as giving the isolated somewhere to meet and mix with other people.

Run in small groups of around 10 -12 people Peter and Stephen will demonstrate a flower arrangement with each participant copying with their own flowers. Assistance is available but the emphasis is very much that each person can make their own arrangement. During the group shared conversation and refreshments enables each participant to open up a little more or the less confident to take that extra step.

Floral Hearts is as concerned with being as sustainable and reducing waste. This is where Floral Hearts hopes to encourage local supermarkets, shops and wholesalers to donate. As a social enterprise Floral Hearts is reliant upon donations, cut flowers being particularly welcome! Therefore, needs people to be as generous as they possibly can, this doesn’t mean just money!! Not saying we don’t want your money, but other things are essential too, such as flowers, foliage’s and time are also desperately needed. Each flower venue requires 12 pairs of special health & Safety floristry scissors at a cost of £16.00 each, so the biggest outlay needed in order to run every workshop would be these items as the service users cannot afford to purchase them, Please support us with your generosity.

In essence Floral Hearts exists as a conduit for flowers and people, bringing people together with flowers destined for landfill. Organised and run in day centres anyone expressing a desire can join. Along with others spend a morning or afternoon arranging flowers, having a conversation and having some fun.
