The Trust provides the corporate umbrella for a statue for which a group of local people have been fund-raising for some time.  To be placed on the north side of the Royal Victoria Dock, adjoining the western entrance of the ExCel Exhibition Centre, the statue will depict dockers at work and thus celebrate the past of the area and many of its people.  Apart from taking "ownership" of the project the Trust has also donated £25,000 towards the cost.  

The statue is now ready for installation and this is planned for late in 2008.

The sculptor is Les Johnson.
