Children in hospital can experience isolation, anxiety and trauma. We believe that creativity can help them during this difficult time in their lives and support them to feel better. The project will work with children and young people who are disadvantaged through their illness, disability or lifelong condition, resulting in a hospital stay. One in four children are admitted to hospital before the aged of 14, although recent statistics show that this number is increasing.

We work with experienced and compassionate artists to create imaginative projects which transform healthcare settings into joyful and welcoming spaces. Our multidisciplinary background enables our artists to respond to young people with empathy and playfulness, encouraging the freedom of creative expression. We collaborate with healthcare teams and hospital teaching services to provide a holistic approach to creativity which is accessible and inclusive of children’s needs.
