Highcross is preparing for a butterfly bonanza at 1000 Lakeside and they are encouraging local companies and people to sponsor a caterpillar and support the work of Portsmouth-based charity, The Elizabeth Foundation. The objective is to release at least 1000 Painted Lady butterflies into the grounds of 1000 Lakeside in September – so the race is now on to raise sponsorship for 1000 caterpillars so that the butterflies will hatch in time.

Each caterpillar can be sponsored for £10, with all the money raised going towards The Elizabeth Foundation, which supports infants and pre-school-aged children with hearing loss and their families.
