In association with North Devon Hospice
The North Devon Hospice is a local charity providing specialist care and support to those with a life-threatening illness and to their loved ones, completely free of charge. We have chosen the North Devon Hospice to be a beneficiary of the National Sculpture Prize, as this charity has a significant, positive impact in the local community which we wish to support. The sculpture that wins the public vote will be donated to the North Devon Hospice for one year and then replaced yearly by the subsequent winning sculpture.
