Arts in Hospital

New Art Cart!

We're delighted with our new Art Cart and branded T-Shirts, very kindly sponsored by Art in Poundbury CIC.

This practical and functional piece of equipment can carry all of our materials and allow us to deliver our creative activities on the wards with ease.

These creative interventions with patients have so many proven benefits for both mental and physical recovery and confidence.

Art in Poundbury are hugely active in our area and are continuously raising funds to help us continue our work.

Enjoying What You See?
