Have you spotted our lion cub?

We are thrilled to be part of the Lions of Windsor 2019 sculpture trail, thanks to the generosity of our friends at Legoland who kindly sponsored our Lion Cub. The Alexander Devine Lion Cub, affectionately known by us as ‘Simba’, has been designed and painted by the very talented local artist Maria Meerstadt. Simba has now taken up residence outside The Harte and Garter Hotel in Windsor, and a big thank you to them for looking after him for us.

We loved working with Maria to come up with a special design that would showcase distinct elements about our children’s hospice as well as incorporating Alexander who is the inspiration for our charity. We wanted to show our grassroots, our new hospice that was built through support from the local community as well as features such as our wonderful sensory garden. The Lion King was one of Alexander’s absolute favourites so we wanted to incorporate that through the cub’s face and, of course, we had to include his favourite animal, the dolphin!
