Welcome to the 2025 HeartsandMinds4Flora Fundraiser!
We work with Downton Abbey star Phyllis Logan, who is a Hearts and Minds Elderflower Ambassador, to raise money for this amazing group of practitioners. Our fundraisers are always a RAFFLE format - donations equal entries for one of various amazing prizes.

Grand Prize (eight available):
A seat at the table as we interview Phyllis Logan and Lesley Nicol, the "downstairs mums" of Downton Abbey! Grab a cuppa and Zoom in for an hour-long (or longer...) Q&A full of laughs, behind-the-scenes Downton stories, and an exclusive peek into their upcoming projects.
PLEASE NOTE: Interview is tentatively scheduled to be held on a Saturday in February, 2026. This is subject to change due to the actors' schedules but will be held at a time that is mutually convenient for them and the Hearts & Minds staff.
