Where your money goes
Small grants - big difference
We funded a new book collection for a children’s hospice, including sensory books for children with varying needs. Reading provides space for imagination, creativity and an opportunity to talk through difficult things.
Fit for purpose
We funded the refurbishment of a room to support art and play therapy. With simple changes and additions to the decor, the room has transformed into an effective therapeutic space for both adults and children.
A Creative Therapist’s salary
We funded a hospice Creative Therapist for one month enabling her to deliver Arts and Creative therapies to patients living with a serious progressive illness. Hospice creative courses reduce feelings of depression and anxiety, promote wellness and the expression of complex feelings.
Activities led by the therapist include a sunflower rag wreath-making session. Colourful sunflowers are created from scraps of fabric, ribbons and buttons. As well as learning a new skill while socialising with others, patients get to take something lovely home with them.
