I'm hosting a Great British Garden party, combining my love of gardens and green spaces and getting together with friends and family, to raise vital funds for some of the UK's best-loved nursing and health charities supported by the National Garden Scheme, including Parkinsons from which my dear dad suffers.

Every donation, large or small, will help provide vital support for the wonderful work done by charities including Macmillan Cancer Support, Marie Curie, Hospice UK, Carers Trust, the Queen's Nursing Institute and Parkinson's UK. Last year Parkinsons received over £400,000 from these charity events.

Thank you for your generous support.
