40 giant elephants from LOROS Hospice’s Stomp Round Leicester art trail were auctioned off last night, raising a mammoth £286,800 for the charity.
Make sure to tune in to BBC East Midlands Today at 6.30pm on Friday 3rd October, because we’re going live from the Hospice alongside our Elephants!
This September marks LOROS’ 40th birthday since it first opened its doors in 1985.
They say elephants never forget. Now LOROS is keeping that promise with its Remember Me elephant. The mammoth elephant is the work of local artist Anna Shutt, who was inspired by looking through photograph albums of relatives.
LOROS Hospice is pleased to confirm it will receive a share of the Government’s recently announced £75 million capital fund for hospices in England.
An Elephant themed art trail is stampeding into Leicester on Monday 14th July, in support of LOROS Hospice.
As you may have previously heard, LOROS is experiencing severe financial challenges due to a sharp rise in our running costs, a significant drop in gifts from wills and ever-increasing demand for our services.
At LOROS, we are acutely aware of the ongoing conversation surrounding assisted dying in the UK, particularly following the recent passing of the Assisted Dying Bill through parliament.
