THANK YOU – SAFFERY
2025 is going to be such an exciting year in Dorset, with a herd of incredible elephant sculptures arriving on the Jurassic Coast on 28th March! Stampede by the Sea is raising funds and awareness for @weldmarhospicecare, and every week we`re highlighting a sponsor who has effectively paid for an entire day`s care for all patients at their Inpatient Unit. Today, that is Saffery – market leaders in accountancy, audit, business advisory, tax and VAT services – and we took Ponty to see the team!
Casidhe Beleri, Partner, says: "Stampede by the Sea is about more than art; itβs about bringing the community together to support Weldmarβs invaluable work. Weβre thrilled to welcome this little elephant as an ambassador for the event, and we look forward to seeing the full herd take shape in a few monthsβ time."
It`s not too late to join Stampede by the Sea as a sponsor or partner – just take a look at our website and call us to open a conversation.

Here`s a little Christmas gift! We`re keeping the designs of our elephants under wraps until Stampede by the Sea begins on 28th March, but here are some sneaky peeks at some of what our shortlisted artists are working on!
When the trail begins, we`ll have thirty huge sculptures forming an amazing trail around Bridport, West Bay and Lyme Regis, raising vital funds and awareness for Weldmar Hospicecare.
Find out more about it on our website – it`s going to be fun, family friendly, and provide not only a boost to the charity, but also to the local area out of season π

Stampede by the Sea is raising funds and awareness for Weldmar Hospicecare. The Memory Elephant will be part of our art trail in Bridport, West Bay and Lyme Regis in the spring, and you can have the name of a loved one hand painted onto the sculpture.
Instead of going to auction, the Memory Elephant will find a forever home, after the trail, in the grounds of Weldmar`s Inpatient Unit. It will be painted in the colours of the uniforms of those wonderful individuals who provide outstanding care there, and in communities across Dorset in patients` own homes.
Make sure the name of your loved one is included, and create a lasting legacy in their name.

Our shortlisted artists will be the people who really bring Stampede by the Sea to life when it begins on 28th March – their creativity will give the WOW factor to our trail!
We`re proud to have the local area well represented, and yesterday Anissa, Andy and Ellie from our team delivered sculptures to five of our Dorset based artists, who will be working on them in their own studios and spaces.
They`ll be setting to work soon and you`ll see their incredible designs in Bridport, West Bay and Lyme Regis in the spring – we can`t wait!!
