Join the sunflower Gang

The project aims to put smiles on peoples faces. Sunflowers make people smile. If I can engage an army of people to plant sunflowers, hopefully together we can genuinely make people smile this summer

Sorry this project was unsuccessful, we did not reach our fundraising goal.

Want to help?

We need people to offer skills, time or resources to develop this project. Check what’s needed below, then click ‘Volunteer’ to get involved.

  • The project truly needs the help of social media knowledge. To create smiles across the country, we really need people to plant Sunflower seeds before end June. Any social media support at any level will help - so everyone please
  • Someone with multiple contacts at schools and/or care homes or any worthy place where many may smile at sunflowers. Assuming crowdfunding allows us to provide seeds, we need a list of where to send them. And maybe the right words to go with the gift
  • A wordsmith who can create a few key messages that could be directed at appropriate organisations. How many company building managers can we encourage to seed the front of their buildings. Every smile they create could boost their staff's wellbeing.
  • A great networker please. Someone whose skills and contacts will allow this project to be maturing in the most inclusive places. Does anyone know the PM's gardener, so perhaps a sunflower behind the lecturn, maturing as the crisis wanes
  • The ears of someone at the road planning or gardening department of almost any council - or someone who knows how to make them all aware of the project and it's sole mission to make people smile. Every seed = 10 smiles or many more in a public space
  • Partners for the project. I have started it but this is meant to be a collaborative, inclusive project, to the point where I become invisible and the project itself is everyone helping each other to smile. Your ideas and drive
  • Sunflower seeds. I really want people who will plant some and perhaps provide local schools/homes/public spaces with seeds. Just do it and help us build the carpet of sunflowers - and let us know!.
  • Can you persuade your employer to let you plant a sunflower in the gardens or pot outside? Can you encourage them to give a packet of seeds to all colleagues to spread the smiles. Please let us know how many successful participants and installations
  • A third person independant adjudicator of the success we, together, achieve. If together we create 1 million smiles, just someone or company to verify the success or even keep a running total -even better if digital
  • A person whose skills include what platform may be best to collate what may be 1000s of great photos of sunflowers or the smiles they have engendered. Especially if we can use it to make even more people smile
  • Project Endorsement. We are all the face of this project. However is there someone or some entity that can help make this initiative even more powerful in making the country happier
