Roaring Support: CGT Joins the Lions at Large Trail in Aid of Local Cancer Care
At CGT Lettings and CGT Stays, we believe in making a meaningful difference — not only in helping people find places to live and stay, but in supporting the community we’re proud to be part of. That’s why we’re thrilled to take part in the Lions at Large Trail this summer, a celebration of creativity, community, and compassion.
What is the Lions at Large Trail?
The Lions at Large Trail, organised by Cheltenham and Gloucester Hospitals Charity, is a unique and family-friendly public art event featuring a pride of lion sculptures placed across Gloucestershire. Each lion is sponsored by a local business and hand-decorated by artists to create an interactive walking trail for residents and visitors alike.
It's a fantastic way to explore our local towns and cities — and all for a vital cause.
What the Trail Supports
Lions at Large is raising funds for The Big Space Cancer Appeal, which exists to transform cancer care in Gloucestershire. The appeal will help build a new cancer centre offering local patients the very best environment for treatment, healing, and recovery.
This isn’t just a building project — it’s a transformational step forward for how cancer care is delivered across the county. The funds raised will directly support:
A modern, thoughtfully designed cancer centre
Spaces that promote calm, dignity and comfort during treatment
Improved access to state-of-the-art facilities for local patients
Enhanced emotional and psychological support services
We’re proud to be part of a cause that will benefit thousands of people across the region.
Our Lion and What It Represents
Our CGT-sponsored lion is designed to reflect the values we live by every day — warmth, care, strength, and the power of community. While we appreciate the analogy between our work in homes and the concept of care environments, we recognise that treatment centres are not ‘homes’ in the literal sense — they are, however, places where support, strength, and healing should be at the forefront.
Visit, Discover, and Support
We encourage everyone to take part in the trail, discover the amazing art on display, and learn more about the impact of the Big Space Cancer Appeal.
And if you’re visiting from out of town or simply want to make a weekend of it, why not explore our CGT Stays collection — a handpicked range of short-term stays in Cheltenham, Gloucester, and Tewkesbury, perfect for families, couples, and adventurers alike.
Together, let’s celebrate Gloucestershire, support our community, and help change cancer care for the better.
