St Barnabas’s HeART Trail, Lincoln, UK
I am pleased to inform you that my design has been selected for St Barnabas’s HeART Trail.
My Heart sculpture title : TBA
Sponsored by TBA
St Barnabas Hospice are incredibly excited to introduce a bespoke HeART trail which will run during the summer of 2023 across Lincolnshire – a first of its kind
2022/23 is an important milestone as St Barnabas celebrates 40 years being at the heart of the community as their local hospice, caring and supporting thousands of people across Lincolnshire, with bases in Louth, Grantham, Spalding, Boston, Gainsborough and Lincoln.
It only seems fitting we expand the trail to cover key areas including Skegness and the coast where tourism is at an all-time high in the summer months. A significant injection of trade after almost two years of disturbance because of the pandemic.
Hearts are the chosen sculpture because ‘people are at the HEART of all that we do’, one of our values is ‘Having Heart’ and our emblem is also a heart. Hearts will adorn our streets, embellished, painted, sculptured from an array of materials bringing joy to all who see them.
There are incredible 29 artist decorated Heart sculptures in Lincoln. Go and see it all!
