SUPPORTING THE CONNECTION BOUQUETS PROJECT with our friends
 
To celebrate 10 years of Loneliness Awareness Week, taking place from 15–21 June, the British Florist Association is delighted to be supporting the Connection Bouquets project in partnership with The Marmalade Trust.
 
This wonderful initiative invites florists across the UK and Ireland to create small bouquets and leave them in their local area for someone to find, enjoy, and pass on. It is a simple gesture, but one that can make a real difference. As florists, we all know the joy that receiving flowers can bring, and this is a lovely way to help promote connection, kindness, and the important work of The Marmalade Trust.
 
We are also pleased to be supporting this project alongside friends from across the industry, including The Good Florist Guide and The Institute of Flowers Ireland. Together, we can show what florists can achieve when we work together for a great cause.
 
During Loneliness Awareness Week, we would love BFA members to take part by creating one or more small bouquets and leaving them in interesting, beautiful, or thoughtful places in their local area.

Full details on how to participate have been sent out via Newsletter 💐

If you are taking part, please tag us in your photos we’d love to see them 💐
