Hollie's Borneo Expedition

🌺 Come and see me today! 🌺

I’ll be at Bolton Gate Farm Market today continuing my fundraising for my Camps International Borneo Scuba & Community Expedition in 2027.

I’ll have lots of my handmade, colourful pipe-cleaner flowers and bouquets for sale, including my popular £10 bouquets, along with some other handmade items.

If you’re nearby, please come along, say hello and have a look at what I’ve been making. Every purchase helps me get closer to my £5,500 fundraising target and one step closer to Borneo! 🌴🐠

📍 Bolton Gate Farm
📅 Today – Saturday 3rd October

Hope to see you there!

🌸 Another fantastic fundraising day for Hollie! 🌸

Hollie had an amazing day at the Trentham Makers Market on Saturday 19th September, where once again she was selling her colourful, hand-crafted flowers made from pipe cleaners.

Her £10 bouquets were especially popular and completely sold out! 💐 She also picked up a couple of commission orders, as well as plenty of people buying flowers ready for Christmas.

The market was buzzing throughout the day and was a great setting alongside Trentham Village. It was lovely to see so many people stopping by, chatting to Hollie and supporting her fundraising for her Camps International Borneo Community Expedition 2027.

A huge thank you to the organisers, who did a sterling job putting on such a great market and creating a fantastic atmosphere.

And, of course, thank you to everyone who bought a flower, placed an order or simply stopped to have a chat — every purchase is helping Hollie get closer to her fundraising target. 🌺

🌸 A Fantastic Day of Fundraising for Hollie's Borneo Expedition! 🌸

Today we were at the wonderful Dorothy Clive Garden Craft Fair, and what a fantastic day it turned out to be! The spectacular gardens provided a beautiful backdrop for Hollie's fundraising stall, making it a pleasure to spend the day there.

Hollie's handcrafted bespoke flowers proved as popular as ever, with her beautiful bouquets selling out completely! 🌺💐 It's amazing to see so many people supporting her as she works towards her Borneo expedition.

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by, purchased a bouquet, or offered words of encouragement. Every sale brings Hollie one step closer to achieving her goal.

What a brilliant day of fundraising in such a stunning setting – thank you to everyone who helped make it such a success! ❤️

* FEATURED FUNRAISER *

Hollie is joining us as part of her fundraising journey tomorrow. We've been sent a write up about what she's aiming to achieve:

🌿 Supporting Hollie’s Borneo Expedition 2026 🌿

" Hollie is incredibly excited to be taking part in a once-in-a-lifetime expedition to Borneo alongside Trentham Academy and Camps International.

This amazing opportunity will allow her to experience a different culture, develop valuable life skills, and take part in important community and environmental projects that help support local people and wildlife conservation in Borneo. The expedition is not just about travel and adventure, but also about personal growth, teamwork, independence, and making a positive difference.
To make this opportunity possible, Hollie is working hard to raise the funds needed for the expedition through fundraising events, activities, and selling handmade gifts and crafts.

Your support can make a real difference in helping Hollie achieve her goal. She is extremely grateful to Barlaston Village Market for their support and for giving her the opportunity to attend the market and raise funds towards her expedition. Community support like this means so much and helps bring her one step closer to Borneo.

🌍 Hollie’s Borneo Fundraising Update 🌿

Over the last month, Hollie has been busy raising funds for her upcoming expedition, and we wanted to share a quick update and say a big thank you.

She has been very fortunate to receive support and opportunities from several local organisations, including Hanford Co-op, Tesco Trent Vale, and Hanford Cricket Club.

Hanford Co-op kindly provided space for Hollie to sell her handmade items during both Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day. Her bespoke handmade flowers proved especially popular — and are still available to purchase through her online shop for anyone interested.

Tesco Trent Vale offered the opportunity for a bucket collection, which turned out to be a fantastic day with a great amount raised towards the expedition.

Hanford Cricket Club also supported Hollie by offering her a stall at their market day, giving her another chance to showcase and sell her handmade flowers.

We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has supported, donated, or taken the time to stop and chat — it really does make a difference and is hugely appreciated. 💛
