Spirit of incredible team

-

We wanted to create a welcoming view that encapsulat­es the essence of our Glasgow hospice and the warmth of the team of profession­als who care for our patients and their loved ones.

“He has not only captured the spirit of the hospice so well but also that of our wonderful team while also putting our iconic daffodil symbol at the heart of the design.”

The project was also supported by AS Scaffoldin­g, who kindly donated their scaffoldin­g and their time to erect and dismantle it to allow EJEK to complete the giant artwork.

As well as the spectacula­r mural at the hospice, EJEK is producing a one-off piece of artwork for Marie Curie’s annual Brain Game event to be held at the Glasgow Hilton on Thursday, October 3.

Last year’s black-tie fundraiser raised more than £197,000 for the end-of-life charity, with more than 500 guests turning out to show their support.

The high-energy event is again set to attract more than 500 attendees for the Brain Game Quiz – an evening filled with high calibre entertainm­ent, celebrity hosts, gourmet dining and fundraisin­g.

Companies can still register to support this year’s event, which is nearly sold out. Tables of 10 cost £2050.
