Charity & social: British Land puts heart in Sheffield’s Steel Man
British Land is hosting the Heart of Steel sculpture at its Meadowhall shopping centre in Sheffield, and is inviting visitors to join fellow fundraisers and have their names engraved on to the steel heart in aid of the British Heart Foundation.
Created by artist Steve Mehdi, the heart sculpture is part of the Steel Man project, a 32m high landmark to be sited at the gateway to the city, becoming an icon for the Yorkshire region.
The Steel Man initiative is supported by Rotherham Council, Sheffield City Council, the Heritage Lottery Fund and regional companies.

The Steel Man initiative is supported by Rotherham Council, Sheffield City Council, the Heritage Lottery Fund and regional companies.
Funds are also being raised through a public appeal. For a donation of £20, an individual’s name can be inscribed on the Heart of Steel, with 10% of the donation going towards life-saving heart research carried out by the British Heart Foundation.
Once the full structure is completed, the heart – bearing 150,000 names – will be placed inside the Steel Man.
Rolling Stone on Rhino Trail
The Tusk Rhino Trail was launched in London’s Carnaby last month. Supported by Shaftesbury, the month-long campaign celebrates the rhinoceros and is raising awareness to help with the conservation of the endangered African species.
In total, 21 specially painted and embellished rhino sculptures are on display in the streets of London – including a design by the Rolling Stones’ Ronnie Wood, sited in Carnaby on Broadwick Street, W1. All 21 sculptures have been addressed by geocoding system what3words, which allows visitors to easily find and follow the trail around London until 22 September.
Wood said: “My inspiration is that this beautiful prehistoric creature should be around for future generations of our children to see. I tried to include motifs from the African flags of the main rhino-populated regions.”
