Tattersalls Online raised £4,000 in aid of the DoItForBrodie Community Interest Company (C.I.C.) through the sale of Spirit Horse, the striking sculpture created by acclaimed sculptor Penny Hardy.
Offered as part of a special charitable consignment, the sculpture attracted widespread attention, reflecting the strength of the support for the cause it represents.
Following the sale, the purchaser commented, “The work of Brodie's mum is so admirable in what she has done and continues to do to raise funds for this cause. Horses bring a huge amount of joy to our lives in so many ways, and supporting this impassioned cause was very important.”
Artist Penny Hardy, also speaking on behalf of Emma Webb, founder of DoItForBrodie C.I.C., was delighted with the result.
She said, “Emma and I are truly thrilled to have raised £4,000 with the sale of the Spirit Horse, wonderfully supported by Tattersalls Online. We are so pleased as 100% of this amazing winning bid will go towards doitforbrodie.com, a C.I.C. enabling Emma to carry on with her vital network supporting young people struggling with their mental health. DoItForBrodie has turned deep grief into something positive, opening conversations, offering support and making sure no one feels alone in their struggles. Thank you to everyone who has helped make this happen.”
