The students painted the final designs onto the garden walls and these murals have enhanced the garden spaces, providing a pleasant and stimulating outdoor facility for patients, staff and families who visit.
The Milford Ward Manager, Stacie Hughes said “I’d like to thank Laura, Amy and Charlotte for their hard work; the murals vastly improve our outdoor spaces for inpatients to enjoy and spend valuable, therapeutic time outdoors whilst on the ward. We are very lucky to have this space, and it really does make a such a positive difference to the experience of our patients.
The project has been a great success on many levels and has given the students an opportunity to work in a mental health setting and alongside professional artists. We hope to continue our relationship with the Faculty of Art, Business and Science at the University of Wolverhampton and to invite new students to take part in future projects.
