Rolawn raises £2.5k to help Greenfingers Charity create children’s hospice gardens

The UK’s leading turf grower and supplier of market-leading topsoil and landscaping products, Rolawn, has donated £2,500 to the charity Greenfingers, as part of the annual Garden Re-Leaf event.

The money was generated through an online initiative whereby Rolawn pledged to donate 5% of the value of all sales made through their website, Rolawn.co.uk, from Thursday 17th to Sunday 20th March.

Rolawn advertised the pledge on their website, newsletters and social media, to encourage people who may have been considering a future purchase of their turf and landscaping products to bring forward their order, to bolster the value of the donation. 

Jonathan Hill, Sales Director for Rolawn, said: “Over the years that we have worked with Greenfingers, we have come to understand how important their work is, creating safe, stimulating outdoor spaces for children spending time in hospices. We have seen the difference that each donation makes to the lives of these children and to their families. 

Linda Petrons, Director of Fundraising and Communications for Greenfingers Charity, commented: “Thank you to the team at Rolawn. Your support of the Greenfingers Charity Garden ReLeaf day is so very much appreciated.”

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.
