The Royal Parks Foundation is a registered charity established in 1993 whose purpose is the protection and preservation of London's Royal Parks.
As part of its annual fund-raising efforts, the Foundation promotes Deckchair Dreams, through which artists donate individual works of art for the canvases of deck chairs which are reproduced and distributed through the Parks.
Among the artists and celebrities who have contributed to the scheme are Damien Hirst, Will Young, Antony Worrall Thompson, Tracy Emin, and Raymond Briggs.
The charity's patron is HRH The Prince of Wales.
