Help us brighten up our hoardings

As part of our Springfield Village development, we are building up to date healthcare facilities so that our patients have the best environment in which to recover. These facilities will make life better for the people who use our services today and for generations to come.

During the construction phase, we are looking for art work to brighten up our hoardings on site. The theme for Mental Health Awareness Week is nature. We would like you to send us your pupils brightly coloured drawings of how pupils connect with nature and how it makes them feel.

How to submit:

To submit art work please email communications@swlstg.nhs.uk , an explanation of the drawing, and contact details so that we can get in touch with you.
