16 Apr 2026
At ITRM, we’ve always believed that being a good business means being a good neighbour.
That’s why we’re proud to be sponsoring a bear in Dartford’s “We’re Going on a Bear Hunt” art trail, coming to the town in summer 2026, a wonderful community event in support of ellenor, a charity that provides vital hospice care and support for people and families across Kent and Southeast London.
This bear hunt is about people, place, and purpose.
The Bear Hunt will see beautifully designed bears appear across Dartford, creating a free, family-friendly art trail that encourages people to get outside, explore their town, and enjoy something uplifting together.
For us, that feels important.
Many of our clients, partners, and team members live or work in and around Dartford. Supporting an initiative that brings people together locally, while raising funds for such an important cause, is a natural fit for ITRM.
ellenor provides compassionate care and support to people facing life-limiting illness, as well as their families. Their work touches thousands of lives every year, often at the most difficult moments.
As many of you know, we have had a long-standing relationship with ellenor and have seen firsthand the difference ellenor makes quietly, professionally, and with genuine care. Supporting the Bear Hunt is one small way we can help ensure that work continues.
Our sponsored bear will be more than a sculpture. It will represent:
We’ll be sharing the story behind our bear as the trail approaches, from its design and meaning to where you can find it once the trail goes live. And yes, we’ll be encouraging our team, clients, and local families to head out and find it.
The Bear Hunt is a reminder that positive things happen when communities come together, businesses, artists, charities, and residents all playing a part.
We’re delighted to be involved and can’t wait to see Dartford come to life in the summer.
If you spot our bear while you’re out and about, do say hello and feel free to share a photo with us. We’ll be doing the same.
