Each one has been sponsored by a business, celebrating creativity and community spirit while raising funds for Julia's House.

The sculpture, designed by a university student, will be part of the upcoming Julia's House Great Tail Trail. Investment and protection specialist LV= collaborated with Arts University Bournemouth student Lily Skipp to create the oceanic-themed sculpture. The tail, located on Bournemouth's seafront, is part of the trail that will feature more than 45 unique designs across Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole.

Each one has been sponsored by a business, celebrating creativity and community spirit while raising funds for Julia's House. In addition to the tail sculpture, LV= is the sponsor of the trail’s Learner Programme, which involves schools, nurseries and community groups designing their own 65 Tiny Tails. Harry Hanscomb, chief operating officer at LV=, said: "At LV=, we are committed to supporting our local communities and making a lasting impact.



"We’re delighted to play a part in this fantastic project, helping raise critical funds and awareness for Julia’s House, a charity we have proudly supported for many years." Arts University Bournemouth student Lily Skipp said: "I’m thrilled to have collaborated with LV= on its mermaid tail sculpture. "This project has been an incredible experience, allowing me to step out of my comfort zone.
