Message from Anna Turner, Her Majestys Lord Lieutenant for Shropshire
Along with everyone in the United Kingdom and many other countries, the people of Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin have had a harrowing time since the Covid Pandemic hit us in early 2020. Many people have lost loved ones, and everyone has had to make extraordinary sacrifices in their daily lives and in their businesses. Communities on all levels have pulled together to get us through. From the dedicated and unremitting work of health and care workers, through frontline workers in a wide variety of roles, to many, many ordinary people helping their neighbours, our communities have risen to the challenge. To remember the many people who have suffered and sadly died and to thank everyone for their enormous effort I would like to commission a public sculpture, which will be unveiled at Shrewsbury Abbey later this year if funds can be raised. Paul Kennedy, an artist, and bronze founder working in Shropshire has designed a beautiful and moving sculpture. Please support me in raising £16,000 to commission this sculpture. With many thanks, Anna Turner, Her Majestys Lord Lieutenant for Shropshire
Please give generously towards this project which will commemorate & thank so many people across our County.
The bronze sculpture will be raised and grounded on Shropshire stone. The diameter of the bronze circle will be approximately 1.2 meters, the base will be 1m high, 50cm wide and 50cm depth, with an overall height of 2.2m.
Donations made will be used to help us meet the cost of installing a Covid19 sculpture in association with the Lord-Lieutenant of Shropshire. Once the target is reached any donations given above that need will be donated to Community Resource to help them continue their vital work in our local communities.
