Artist Faith Bebbington is celebrating the success of her most recent installation, ‘The Hart of London’. Faith, who has established a national reputation for her sculptures, creates dynamic figurative sculptures that capture movement and humanise public spaces. She attended Abbotsholme between 1977 and 1982.

‘The Hart of London’ was a reminder to the London public to cut down on plastic waste over the festive period. The illuminated life-size deer sculpture was made from 2,000 plastic bottles and installed in St James’s Church Gardens, just off Piccadilly in London. A £3 ‘tap donation’ triggered the hart’s heart to light up and raised £900 for the St James’s Church Trust, which supports night shelters for the homeless and counselling for asylum-seekers.
