Floristry as a tool for social good: An award-winning organisation on a mission to help women from refugee backgrounds flourish. We work with brands through partnerships, workshops and activations that help to fund our programmes. We have collaborated with organisations including BEEN, Birdsong, Chateau Sainte Marguerite, Kate Spade, Kiehl's and UNHCR. Pioneering the use of floriculture therapy, we harness the benefits of working with flowers to create welcoming spaces where women from refugee backgrounds can build confidence, learn new skills, and connect with others. Alongside floristry, our programmes support English learning through a tailored curriculum and provide access to local support services - helping women feel more connected and confident in their communities. We only use locally grown, seasonal flowers and are committed to trying to keep our supply chains as ethical as possible. This allows us not only to ensure that we reduce our carbon footprint and the damaging effects of pesticides but also to ensure transparency that we have a slavery-free supply chain. Ensuring fair wages and working conditions are fundamental to our ethos: the exploitation of a mainly female and global majority workforce, in countries where pesticide use and working conditions are less regulated, is of huge concern to us.
