Six men, one dog, a Queen and a horse!

Join Dorchester Sheroes in their quest to erect Dorchester's first non-royal female statue and celebrate an overlooked shero from our past. This project aims to be a collaborative, community-led campaign that involves local schools and engages the public. We value your input on potential candidates for the statue, and once we have a shortlist, the community will have the opportunity to vote for their chosen shero to be immortalised in bronze. We are fully supported by the Dorchester Town Council Joint Heritage Committee, and funding for this project will rely on the power of the people, with fundraising events and grant schemes playing a pivotal role. Read on to learn more about the significance of this initiative and the individuals driving this inspiring campaign forward.
