We are so proud to say Burford Garden Company are Sponsors of our Outdoor Wellbeing Hub, and support Guideposts by offering their expert advice, skills, workforce and connections, as well as financial assistance and goods to help with the development and growth of the site.
The Guideposts Information & Support phone line opened a year ago, in March 2020. It was coincidental, if fortunate, that it was just at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic.
