Wayne Southall's companies are sponsoring sculptures for St Richard's Hospice's 2027 Worcester art trail in memory of his daughter Holly, who died in 2024.
Wayne Southall, founder of Digaway & Clearaway Recycling and Skippy Pink Skip Hire based in Upton upon Severn, is sponsoring two sculptures for St Richard's Hospice's 2027 Peter Rabbit in the warrens of Worcester art trail. The sponsorship follows the death of his 10-year-old daughter Holly in summer 2024.
Southall said he was motivated after buying two penguin sculptures at auction during the hospice's previous trail, one named 'Waddle I do Without You' painted in Holly's favourite colours. The penguins now sit in his mother's garden in Kempsey as a tribute to Holly. The two sculptures he is now sponsoring include a large piece and a smaller one to be designed and decorated by children from a local primary school.
The trail will run for eight weeks from Monday, July 12 until Sunday, September 5, 2027, featuring 75 sculptures across Worcester. Large sculptures will be auctioned off at the end to raise funds for St Richard's Hospice. This is the fourth art trail the hospice has organised in support of the charity.
