Birmingham businesses support charity art installation

A Birmingham hospice is partnering with businesses for a citywide tribute to celebrate the lives of loved ones who are sadly no longer with us.

Six Birmingham businesses have been among the first to pledge their support for an innovative fundraising art installation developed by Birmingham St Mary’s Hospice.

The installation, which be displayed at Brindleyplace, will include 1,500 wrought iron forget-me-not flowers. The art installation will be on display from April 24 until May 1 and people can donate for their own keepsake flower, dedicated to a loved one, as part of the display.

The six businesses DAC Beachcroft, Hettle Andrews & Associates Limited, Michael Page, Unity Trust Bank, Santander Harborne and Clarke Associates will be hosting coffee mornings and fundraising for Birmingham St Mary’s Forget Me Not appeal.

Partner at DAC Beachcroft, Helen Bates said: “DAC Beachcroft, Birmingham are delighted to be able to sponsor the Forget Me Not Appeal. It is a really lovely idea to raise much needed funds to support the amazing and compassionate work the Hospice undertakes within the local community.”

People who have made a donation will then be able to keep the flower after the event as a permanent tribute to a loved one. The colourful flowers have been designed and crafted by the Midlands based British Ironworks Centre.

Nathan Sanghera, marketing and events executive at Brindleyplace, said: “We are excited to be able to host the Forget Me Not installation and Birmingham St Mary’s Hospice has our full support for their wonderful campaign. We’re proud to be able to help make a difference with such a great cause.”
