Phyllis Logan supports fundraiser for Hearts & Minds Elderflowers. - Hearts and Minds. Improving lives, one smile at a time.

Our Honorary Elderflower, Phyllis Logan, star of Downton Abbey, is supporting an amazing fundraiser organised by our supporters in the USA.

Our Supporters

Lynn Radford and Angela Thrift set up a group called HeartsandMinds4Flora in 2017 and have held several events to raise money for our Elderflowers over the last 8 years. This year they are running another star-studded raffle with prizes for lovers of hit TV shows Downton Abbey and Peaky Blinders and fans of the star Phyllis Logan. The items include signed memorabilia from both shows and some rare items only given to cast members.

Be At the Table

Top prize is a once in a lifetime opportunity to join a live Q&A online with Phyllis Logan and her close friend and Downton Abbey co-star, Lesley Nicol (Mrs Patmore). Eight lucky people will win this top prize to join the stars in February and put some questions to them. What would you like to ask Mrs Hughes?

How do you join this fundraiser?
