Sponsors supporting spectacular Gratitude art installations to fundraise for NHS Charities Together will sculpt a memorable profile across the UK

Gratitude (www.thisisgratitude.co.uk) is a spectacular outdoor public art installation which commemorates this extraordinary moment in time.

The installation will bring together 49 uniquely designed human form sculptures in a display which invites contemplation and takes visitors on a creative journey of discovery. The image of key workers standing together, but apart, is one of the abiding images of our times - each worker socially distancing and standing apart, while at the same time showing a unique coming together.

Each sculpture will be created by national and regional artists to reflect the stories and contributions of NHS staff and all key workers and will be sponsored by a different business. Free to visit, Gratitude will be hosted in high profile, accessible locations in Birmingham, Manchester, Edinburgh and London. The sculptures will be auctioned in October 2021 to raise funds for NHS Charities Together (Registered Charity Number 1186569).

"Businesses and other local organisations are invited to sponsor a sculpture for £9,750 plus VAT, which provides a great opportunity for your company to recognise the tremendous efforts of your own employees during the pandemic, and to support artists and exhibition designers, who are giving us all some much-needed colour and vibrancy to our cities in this challenging period.

"We also appreciate that, as a business, you will want to see a return on this investment and use your sponsorship to reach all your stakeholders. There are various ways that you can do this, including employee and stakeholder engagement and driving customers to your business. Gratitude sponsorship is a great opportunity to promote your brand, what you do and key messages through our print and digital assets.

"These include the sculpture plaque, Gratitude website and the app. Our team will talk you through various ways of getting your message out there. So don't delay and join our other sponsors including Ocado, Wesleyan, HSBC, Browne Jacobson, Securitas, Thortful, Premier Inn, Selfridges and others ... we are now looking for our last twelve sponsors and need to know by June 2021".

"Gratitude will be an important landmark event for NHS Charities Together in 2021. We hope businesses step forward to support this event, which will raise vital funds for NHS Charities Together and will help us to produce a very special and significant event for the UK", Ellie Orton, Chief Executive, NHS Charities Together.
