Some of the Trust’s amazing Mill View Court staff have recently completed a 33km sponsored walk in order to raise money for Health Stars to fund a mural for their service’s garden and activity room area, and to brighten up the ward atmosphere for both staff and patients.
The walk itself saw the staff starting their journey at Trust HQ in Willerby, East Yorkshire, and then visiting all the Trust’s adult mental health inpatient units across the city of Hull.
The Department of Health have reported that the use of art can ease anxiety and stress for both patients and care staff, it has also been found to boost morale and improve communication between service users and staff.
The team are hopeful that a colourful addition to the walls will create a positive and peaceful space for patients to spend time during their recovery journey.
The team have done a fantastic job and raised just over £1,200.
