Dive into The Great Tail Trail as a volunteer

The Great Tail Trail is raising funds and awareness for Julia’s House Children’s Hospice who support children with life-threatening and life-limiting illnesses throughout Dorset and Wiltshire. 

We’re now recruiting for a Mermaid Crew to help us on the trail.  

Welcome visitors

Answer questions
about the trail. Don’t worry, we’ll provide you with lots of info and support!
Guide visitors
along the route to where they can find the next sculptures.
Meet new people
and gain new experiences by participating in an amazing community event.
Make a difference
To local children and families supported by Julia's House.
