Upton in Bloom

Ashley Blinds has always been keen to support its local community and has sponsored many local organisations and groups. We have supported one such organisation, Upton in Bloom, for three years now and it was a great honour to be invited to attend their celebration evening in October. Ashley Blinds’ Jo Jardine was presented with the Upton in Bloom Annual Certificate of Appreciation in recognition of our support over the year.

This year Upton in Bloom was awarded Gold in the 2024 Britain in Bloom Awards under the Town category. This is an incredible achievement for the community, reflecting the dedication, hard work and passion of everyone who played a part in beautifying our town. Ashley Blinds is proud to have helped support the organisation and we look forward to assist them in 2025.

Upton in Bloom was also awarded the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service in 2022, which is equivalent to the MBE for voluntary groups. They are a group of friendly and passionate volunteers working together with local community groups and organisations, and the Town Council to enhance the natural environment of the town.

The organisation is always looking for enthusiastic volunteers, both young and old. If you are interested in joining Upton in Bloom, please email them at uptoninbloom@hotmail.co.uk. They would love to hear from you.
