Our Charities
We are splitting all proceeds evenly between Friends of the Bees, The Great British Bee Project and local eco charity The Whitelands Project.
​
This is a passion project for us at the Granary, and many of our friends and community. Apart from the cost of materials and travel expenses all proceeds are going to our chosen charities. The artists involved wanted to raise as much money as possible.
