Kent Hospice Is Calling Businesses To Sponsor A Bear
The hunt is on – ellenor is looking for businesses to sponsor a bear sculpture in an amazing art trail coming to Dartford in summer 2026, to raise funds and awareness of what the hospice charity does and who for.
‘Dartford – We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’ will put the ‘art’ into Dartford and will open at the start of the school summer holidays and run for eight weeks, with bear sculptures being placed in prominent places across the area and Bluewater too. Families can follow the trail to find them, seeing Dartford whilst stumbling and tripping across local businesses and tourism spots along the way.
Businesses have the opportunity to sponsor a beautiful Big Bear and choose a design from a selection created by professional artists. They could also get involved by sponsoring a smaller Bear Cub on behalf of a local school or community group.
Project Manager Georgie Packer, said: “This is going to be a project that brings together every corner of the local community – the hospice, businesses, creatives, plus schools and local groups too – not to mention the families who will enjoy it once we have all the bears ready to be found. “Businesses sponsors will connect with customers in a unique and engaging way, showcase their support for the arts, and make a real difference by raising funds for their local hospice too.”
At the end of the trail, all bears will be auctioned off – and businesses may like to buy their bear.
Dartford Borough Council is the Presenting Partner for the project.
