Art spreads happiness at Tamworth Station

The pieces of art have been put up along platforms, in waiting areas and on bus shelters to help people feel happier when they’re travelling through the station.

The artwork on the platforms have been designed and created by people who have received treatment at the George Bryan Centre in Tamworth. 

People in the community using local mental health services also contributed a series of landscape photographs and words from poems and reflections on the subject of ‘safe places’.
