EyUp! awarded £300 to the occupational therapy team at Kendray Hospital to go towards an art project for service users.
Service users from Beamshaw, Clark, Melton and Willow wards came together to design artwork that would brighten the space in their communal area. Together they decided to paint a tree with branches so that they could continue to add to the wall in the future.
Briar Curley, occupational therapist, Oakwell Centre said “The activity brought together service users from different wards to work together. Together they have created an amazing piece of art that helped boost their mood and express their creativity.
“Although the biggest part of the project is completed, other art pieces from service users will be added to the tree over the seasons.”
Service users commented “I’m pleased that I managed to get so much done. It looks much better.”
“Now that it is finished, we can make other pieces to add to it, we are already planning to make decorations to put on it for Christmas.”
