# Phil Anderson Financial Services Proudly Supports The BookBench Trail 2025

Phil Anderson Financial Services is proud to be supporting **The BookBench Trail**, a unique public art event set to transform the north-east, Orkney and Shetland into a vibrant, outdoor gallery during summer 2025. Organised by **Clan Cancer Support**, the trail will feature stunning open-book sculptures in towns and cities where the charity provides its invaluable services — and we are thrilled to be involved as both a **bench sponsor** and the **official t-shirt sponsor** for the event.

**A Trail of Art and Meaning**

A total of **41 BookBench sculptures**, each creatively brought to life by some of the UK’s leading artists, will be placed across local communities for everyone to enjoy. These distinctive benches – shaped like open books – aim to inspire, uplift and invite reflection as part of a **free public art trail** that connects people through storytelling and support.

*“We are absolutely delighted to bring this initiative back to Ellon after the amazing success of the Big Hop Trail two years ago,”* said Phil Anderson, Managing Director of Phil Anderson Financial Services. *“Clan Cancer Support is a cause close to our hearts, and we are incredibly proud to sponsor one of the benches and also provide the t-shirts for the trail. It’s a fantastic opportunity to promote creativity, community spirit and wellbeing across the region.”*

**Why the BookBench?**

Clan chose the BookBench design to reflect its **lifeline listening support service**, which gives individuals affected by cancer a safe and compassionate space to open up and share their stories. The sculpture, large enough to seat two adults, symbolises connection and invites moments of reflection as trail-goers explore each piece of artwork.

**Making a Difference**
In addition to sponsoring a bench, our role as **t-shirt sponsor** ensures that volunteers, organisers and supporters will be easily recognisable and united in their support throughout the trail. It’s an honour to help give visibility and cohesion to such a meaningful event.

Once the trail concludes, the sculptures will be **auctioned off to raise vital funds** for Clan Cancer Support. These proceeds will help the charity reach even more individuals and families navigating a cancer diagnosis, ensuring they receive the care and understanding they deserve.
