HeART Trail ends, but it’s not all over quite yet…

After a wonderful summer spreading joy and awareness of hospice care, the St Barnabas Hospice HeART Trail has now come to an end.

From Saturday, 10th June until Monday, 4th September, thirty wonderful heart-shaped sculptures were available to view all around the county, including in Lincoln, the East Coast and the five towns in which St Barnabas has a Wellbeing Centre.

Although the trail has now ended, the campaign continues with a HeART Reunion exhibition. Hosted by the Lincoln Museum (formerly The Collection) from the 14th until the 28th of September, the exhibition offers the chance for the public to see the sculptures again, all in one place.

The Lincoln Museum is free to enter and is open Thursday to Monday from 10 am to 4 pm. The museum will be hosting twenty-seven of the thirty sculptures for viewing.

The three sculptures not available for viewing at the reunion exhibition include the ā€˜Seat of Loveā€™, located in Lincolnā€™s Waterside Shopping Centre until 21st September. ā€˜Notes of Loveā€™, which is still available to see at the St Barnabas ā€˜superstoreā€™ The Warehouse in Lincoln until 28th September and, finally, the ā€˜In Memory of Stefanosā€™ sculpture, which can now be found at the St Barnabas Wellbeing Centre in Louth.

On 23rd and 24th of September, from 10 am to 3 pm, St Barnabas fundraising staff and volunteers will be hosting Heart Hubs at the Lincoln Museum. Here, people can find out more about the HeARTs and the work of St Barnabas in the local community.

On the final evening of the Reunion, the museum will host an auction of twelve of the HeART Trail sculptures. Tickets for this exclusive evening are still available for purchase on the charityā€™s website.

Danny, a nurse for St Barnabas ā€˜Hospice at Homeā€™, said: ā€œThe HeARTs raise awareness of the work that we do in the community with life-limiting and palliative illnesses.

ā€œTwelve HeART sculptures will be available to bid on on the 28th of September at the Lincoln Museum. The bidding will start at Ā£3,000 per sculpture.

ā€œThere are limited spaces available at the auction. You can book your tickets online or make a proxy bid if youā€™re unable to attend in person.

ā€œAll of the funds raised will go towards St Barnabas so that we can continue to support people in and around Lincolnshire. If youā€™re interested in art and supporting a local charity, then donā€™t miss out.ā€

Only a few dozen tickets are available at Ā£15 each, with welcome drinks and canapĆ©s included. To find out more and buy tickets to the HeART Trail auction, visit https://stbarnabashospice.co.uk/hearttrail/auction/.
