We are proud to support ‘Trunks Across the Thames‘, a large-scale public art trail led by Thames Hospice, designed to bring communities, artists, schools, and businesses together in support of hospice care.

The project transforms public spaces into an open-air gallery of beautifully designed elephant sculptures, each one uniquely created and placed across towns along the Thames. Beyond the visual impact, the trail serves a deeper purpose: raising awareness and vital funds for hospice care services that support patients and families during some of life’s most difficult moments.

Our involvement reflects a wider belief that creativity has a responsibility to serve the communities around it. Supporting initiatives like Trunks Across the Thames allows us to contribute our skills and resources to something that is both engaging and socially meaningful.

What makes the project powerful is its accessibility. It exists outside of traditional gallery spaces, reaching people in everyday environments – on high streets, in parks, and along walking routes. This creates moments of surprise, reflection, and connection, while also encouraging public engagement with an important cause.

For us, it’s not just about sponsorship or visibility. It’s about participation in something that actively brings people together while supporting essential care services. It demonstrates how creative industries can play a role in strengthening community infrastructure, not just visual landscapes.

You can learn more about Thames Hospice and the trail by visiting their site.
