"Through partnerships with St Patrick's and Overgate Hospice, we want to ensure these two vital parts of our community thrive.

"It's about the circular economy for us. The more we can put back into the community, the more we can push our local plan to ensure Elland as a whole community thrives.”

The florist is also planning to create an online hub to help small independent retailers market and network online.
