A Worcester-based health and care property developer is partnering with the county’s hospice.
Prime is sponsoring the great Waddle of Worcester, which will see eighty penguins pop up in streets, green spaces and shopping areas for eight weeks from July 2024.
A Wild in Art event, the art trail is being brought to Worcester by St Richard’s Hospice in its fortieth year caring for patients and loved ones across the county.
Leighton Chumbley, Chief Executive at Prime, said: “We’re here to help health and care providers make the most of their spaces so we all can experience better care.
“As a certified B Corp company, it’s important to us all that our work serves as a force for good. Getting involved in the great Waddle of Worcester is our way of helping the hospice, which neighbours our Worcester HQ, and is an organisation which does so much for so many locally.”
Sara Matthews, Business Development Manager for St Richard’s Hospice, said: “We get to meet some amazingly community-spirited organisations through our penguin partnerships and Prime is one of those.
“The team pride themselves on supporting families and the community so it’s wonderful to have them all waddling with us next summer.”
The great Waddle of Worcester is supported by Presenting Partners; Crowngate, DRPG, Worcester City Council and Worcestershire Ambassadors, Community and Education Partner; Worcester BID and Media Partners; the Worcester News and BBC Hereford & Worcester.
Forty large penguins will be designed by artists from Worcestershire and beyond. Forty chicks will be lovingly painted by local schools and community groups.
