Giraffes have been popping up in Cambridge city-to help raise money for care leavers and will encourage people to "stand tall".

31 large giraffes and 62 mini sculptures have been decorated by artists, schools and community groups. After 10 weeks, an auction will raise funds for Break, a charity that aims to boost the chances of young care leavers.

Many of the 31 large giraffes, have been decorated by established artists and have a range of themes such as the environment, literature, science and nature.

Money for Break will also be raised though donations, app downloads, events and merchandise. Trail-goers can find the sculptures by using the Cambridge Standing Tall app or maps available from trail hubs.
