GreenAcres Living Memorial Parks has announced its sponsorship of the Thames Hospice’s Trunks Across The Thames campaign, a new project set to launch in 2026
The campaign will see a display of artistically decorated elephant sculptures placed throughout the region to raise funds for hospice care.
The campaign aims to raise vital funds for Thames Hospice to continue providing care and support for people with life-limiting illnesses.
GreenAcres said the project aligns closely with its own mission to offer spaces of peace and reflection for those experiencing loss.
Christopher Koller, managing director of GreenAcres, said: “We are honoured to stand alongside Thames Hospice in this uplifting campaign.
“Both of our organisations understand that, in times of grief, moments of beauty and connection can provide strength and hope.
“By bringing art, nature, and community together, Trunks Across The Thames will touch hearts, raise essential funds, and remind us all of the resilience of the human spirit.”
The elephant sculptures will be displayed publicly across the region, celebrating community, creativity, and the healing power of nature.
Elephants were chosen as the campaign’s central symbol for their associations with memory, connection, and support during times of loss.
Funds raised will directly support Thames Hospice’s essential work, ensuring that patients and their loved ones receive expert care, emotional support, and comfort in a compassionate environment.
A spokesman for GreenAcres added: “Through our partnership, GreenAcres is proud to help create a legacy of kindness, remembrance, and healing for our community – a reminder that even in the most challenging times, nature and togetherness can light the way forward.”
