Somewhere under the rainbow….

Somewhere under the rainbow….

July 05, 2021
The Home Counties Materials team were contacted to help out a project to supply concrete for a memorial rainbow statue to commemorate the hard work of the NHS and key workers during the pandemic.

The project, which will see a Rainbow Statue erected in the middle of a roundabout at the entrance of Stoke Mandeville Hospital in Aylesbury,  is intended to remember forever the hard work of NHS staff and key workers during the global Covid-19 pandemic, and is the brainchild of Florence Nightingale Hospice and Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust. 

They say they “want the sculpture to also memorialise the resilience and community spirit shown by the people of Buckinghamshire, in responding to the lockdown in 2020/21.”

The statue, named “Nightingale’s Rainbow” will consist of an arch covered with 17,000 tiles in rainbow colours, with planting around it and a patio and seating underneath.

What a great project to be involved in and take pride in supplying…a fitting memorial to a challenging time.
