Here's why you might spot a rhino sculpture in Hyde

A marketing agency in Hyde is using their sculpture of a rhino for a good cause.

Rhino Group in Hyde has a large white rhino sculpture elevated on their office building on Clarendon Street. The rhino has become quite the feature across the town, often used as a backdrop for photographs.

So popular is the rhino, that the marketing agency has been inundated with numerous requests for personalised messages to be displayed across the front of the sculpture.

Now, Rhino Group is encouraging the public to request personalised messages on their rhino sculpture to encourage donations to a community project.

They have partnered with Sandwich Angels, a local community group based in Hyde, to ask for donations of supermarket vouchers, with a minimum of £20 required, to get your personalised birthday, engagement, or celebration message on the rhino sculpture.

The signage is created, produced and fitted at no additional cost, and Rhino are also matching all donations to ensure fewer local people go hungry.

Sandwich Angels is a group of unpaid volunteers who distribute food parcels to struggling families, the elderly and vulnerable in Hyde and surrounding localities. With no government funding, they rely solely on public donations.
