A Mischief of Rats raises £160k for Daisy Appeal hulldailymail.co.uk/news/hull-east…

The @A_MofRats2025 rats, in aid of @DaisyAppeal, are now in place. This weekend I went along to see two that I sponsored. Already there were visitors coming along to see them, which was great to see. #AmischiefOfRats

Please note, the rat sculpture at @BurtonConstable is FREE to visit. However, by purchasing an admission ticket, visitors can explore more of the beautiful Hall and Parkland. #AMofRats #ratsculpture #burtonconstable

We're really excited for the new @A_MofRats2025 sculpture trail, which launches this Saturday around Hull. This mass public art project has been put together by the same team behind the hugely popular Puffins Galore, A Moth for Amy and Larkin with Toads. The project benefits the @DaisyAppeal - a fantastic local charity funding cutting edge research and treatment to improve the outcomes for patients in our region living with cancer, heart disease and dementia. The colourful public art trail will see 45 artist-decorated rat sculptures, each standing around 6ft tall, installed at various spots across Hull and East Riding. And it's amazing to see the iconic Humber Bridge feature in a few of the designs. A Find-a-Rat Guide will be available from the information kiosk at Hull Paragon Interchange & libraries. There will also be a fun interactive app, which will be available to download at the weekend, that will help you keep track of all the rats you've spotted. The inspiration for A Mischief of Rats was Hull musician Mick Ronson. Mick is best known as lead guitarist with David Bowie’s ‘Spiders from Mars’ but his home band was ‘The Rats’.

Europe scrambles to aid Ukraine after US intelligence cutoff Ukraine is already “shooting half-blind” one analyst says, as Kyiv struggles to fend off Russia without U.S. intel. The U.S. is now actively enabling Russia’s bombing of Ukraine and the killing of its people. What a disgrace! politico.com/news/2025/03/0…

One of our rat sculptures has been delivered to @BurtonConstable, and it's ready to be transformed into a masterpiece for A Mischief of Rats! Artist Casey is about to unleash her creativity, bringing this mischievous rat to life with an incredible design. @DaisyAppeal
