Courthill are thrilled to be taking part in a project called ‘The Great Tail Trail’ to help raise awareness and much needed funds for the local children’s hospice, Julia’s House, who provide outstanding bespoke care to life-limited children and support for their families. We are one of 37 schools to be taking part in the Tiny Tail Learner Programme.

The trail will take place from 5th April to 1st June 2025 and our decorated ‘tiny tail’ will feature alongside over 40 giant tail sculptures, which have been painted by local artists and 90 other tiny trail sculptures.

The Mermaid Tail is special to Julia’s House as it represents the very special Mermaid Suite at the Dorset hospice in Corfe Mullen, where families can spend time when their child is at the end of their life. In the Mermaid Suite they provide round the clock clinical care, a listening ear and emotional support for parents and dedicated time for brothers and sisters, so that families can make their most of their final days together.

Please support this amazing initiative and wonderful charity by donating whatever you can to help us reach our fundraising target of £750.

Thank you.
