Nearly £16,000 raised for Dudley key workers monument
Nearly £16,000 has been raised for a permanent monument to key workers in recognition of their efforts during the coronavirus pandemic.
Councillors in Dudley are aiming to raise £30,000 for the Russells Hall Rainbow, a stunning sculpture set to be located outside the hospital of the same name.
They say it will serve as a permanent reminder of how local heroes stepped up to the plate during the crisis.
The monument has been designed by local artist Steve Field and features a glass rainbow, representing the iconic symbol of hope displayed in windows all over the country during the pandemic.
The launch follows the council’s decision to award the Freedom of the Borough to residents who have been on the frontline in the fight against the virus.
