Help us grow.

We aim to bring our plant workshops to everyone and put society and planet before profits.

If you had a good experience with us and want to help us grow, please recommend our workshops to friends, family and colleagues! Word of mouth is the main way we reach new people, so we can’t overstate how valuable this is to us!

Alternatively, if you want to help fund workshops for people who otherwise could not afford them, we gratefully receive your support.

FAQs

What is the Terrapy Pay it Forward Scheme?

The Terrapy Pay it Forward Scheme is our program of support to facilitate greater access to nature and horticulture by removing financial barriers.

How is the scheme funded?

The scheme is funded by voluntary contributions made by members of the public upon booking our workshops.

What do you use the funds for?

The funds are used to buy materials for workshops that are then delivered in partnership with registered charities, allowing eligible individuals supported by those charities to attend for free. All other costs associated with running Pay it Forward Scheme events are absorbed by Terrapy, meaning our workshops are delivered at zero cost to our charity partners.

Who is eligible to receive support from the scheme?

Funding under the scheme is exclusively available to registered charities regulated by the charities commission, that support individuals who:

  • have limited access to horticulture/nature or a demonstrable unfulfilled need for the mental health benefits of horticulture/nature

AND

  • lack the Means or Ability to access the experience themselves at a public workshop.

AND

  • conform to the Means-Based Exclusion Threshold.

This framework ensures that the funding is reaching the intended group through a robustly regulated and transparent organisation.

Definitions:

Means - the £30 cost of a public session with opt in discount applied must represent a significant economic barrier to the beneficiary.

Ability - the beneficiary must be prevented from attending a public workshop location by social, economic or disability reasons.

Means-Based Exclusion Threshold - the £150 minimum cost of a private one-to-one workshop at the beneficiary’s home must constitute a significant and prohibitive economic barrier.

How do I know how the funds have been used?
