Rolawn donates 85 metres of turf to a children’s hospice garden in Carlisle

The UK’s leading turf grower and supplier of market-leading topsoil and landscaping products, Rolawn, has donated 85 metres of Medallion® Turf to the charity Greenfingers, to help create a garden for a children’s hospice in Carlisle.

Greenfingers Charity, which is dedicated to supporting children with life-limiting conditions and their families who spend time in hospices around the UK, commissioned the garden at Jigsaw Children’s Hospice in Carlisle.

North-East-based company, Ian Howe Landscaping, and Westwood Landscape, based in Dalston, Cumbria combined to build the project. Bruce Walker, Chartered Landscape Architect at Westwood Landscape, said: “We would like to express our sincere thanks to Rolawn for the kind donation of the turf for this project.

The garden will make life much more fun for children with extreme health and disability issues whilst they are at the children’s hospice. Westwood Landscape value highly the strong working relationship with Rolawn which has been built over many years and it is most satisfying for this partnership to deliver a project of this nature to help the local community.”

Rolawn Sales Director, Jonathan Hill, commented: “We are delighted to continue supporting our designated charity, Greenfingers, by providing our Medallion Turf as part of the redesign of an outdoor space at Jigsaw Children’s Hospice.”

Rolawn has supported Greenfingers Charity for over 20 years, donating turf and topsoil for some of the older gardens created by Greenfingers including Shooting Star, Hampton; Helen and Douglas House Hospice, Oxford and Julia’s House Children’s Hospice.

Important update: Temporary 6.5% surcharge effective 7 April 

At Rolawn, we are committed to maintaining the high standards of quality and service our customers expect, so we want to be open with our customers about a change that will affect pricing from Tuesday 7th April. 

This decision has been taken in response to disruption to energy supplies, which has led to significant increases in wholesale prices, affecting not only fuel and fertiliser but also costs throughout our wider supply chain. As a business that relies heavily on fuel for both transport and operations, these sustained cost pressures have become increasingly difficult to absorb.  

While we have worked hard to mitigate the impact, the scale and pace of recent price increases have now exceeded what we can sustain internally, and we therefore need to recover a proportion of these externally driven increases. 

From Tuesday 7th April, a temporary 6.5% surcharge will apply to all products.  

We know that any increase in price is frustrating, particularly at a time when many businesses and households are already feeling under pressure. That is why we want to be clear that this is not a decision we have made lightly, and not one we wanted to make. It has been introduced solely to help offset unavoidable cost inflation and allow us to continue delivering the quality, reliability and service standards associated with Rolawn. 

We will continue to monitor market conditions closely and will review this surcharge as soon as circumstances allow, providing reasonable notice of any changes. We recognise that any price increase is unwelcome, but this step is necessary to ensure the continuity and reliability of our operations during a period of ongoing uncertainty. 

We remain committed to providing the quality, reliability and service standards you expect from Rolawn, and we truly appreciate your understanding and continued support. 

If you have any questions, please contact our customer support team who will be happy to help.
