St Barnabas Hospice is thrilled to share the heartwarming news that the charity’s most recent ‘in-memory’ appeal ‘Feathers From Above’ raised in excess of £55,000.
The concept of the ‘Feathers From Above’ appeal was to create an installation of 1,000 handmade feathers, offering supporters a unique way to remember a loved one.
Each ironwork feather was handmade in Lincolnshire by local steel fabricator Kevin Baumber. They were curated at three different heights to form a moving display of art that interacted with the wind.
Supporters were invited to dedicate a feather in memory of a loved one and receive a personalised tag to take home and cherish in their garden or outdoor space.
The heartfelt display of feathers was held at Aubourn Hall Gardens and Grounds, a beautiful backdrop to such an emotive appeal, less than ten miles from Lincoln.
The feathers are still available to purchase at www.stbarnabashospice.co.uk. The Hospice would like to say a big thank you to everyone who supported the event.
Their next event coming up in October will be ‘Ladies who Lunch’, to be held at The White Hart Hotel in Lincoln. Details will be available from the Hospice website or their Facebook page from 10th August.
