DEFRA |
| Defra's
core purpose is to improve the current and future
quality of life. |
| For the
first time one department has brought together the
interests of farmers and the countryside; the
environment and the rural economy; the food we eat,
the air we breathe and the water we drink. They do
all this by integrating environmental, social and
economic objectives - putting sustainable
development into practice every day, and by
championing sustainable development as the way
forward for Government. |

Perennial - Gardeners' Royal Benevolent Society |
| Perennial
is the national charity for those who work or have
worked in horticulture and their spouses/partners
when they face adversity or need. We are an
occupational charity founded in the 19th century,
which has moved with the times as both horticulture
and the needs of its people have changed, and we
will continue to do so. |
| Perennial
helps by providing money, by providing services, but
most of all by ensuring people get the help they
need from government departments and the public and
private organisations that are there to assist.
Our highly skilled caseworkers are accessible and
available to all who work in horticulture. |
