Chair's Report
Since its establishment almost a decade ago. Hospital Rooms has installed over
200 artworks in mental health settings across the country. This extraordinary
achievement goes hand-in-hand with extensive research and co-produced creative
programming, all of which facilitates the radical rethinking of mental health care.
2024125 has been a year of embedding and research. Notable is the formulation of a
National Framework for Equal Access to Arts for Mental Health Services, designed
for scalable national and international impact in mental health care. which is
generously funded by Arts Council England. The framework points to the
organisation's commitment to learning, reflected in our new NHS projects. Our NHS
Trust collaborators are diverse in geography and specialism and will enable us to
develop our work with, for example, our first dedicated project in a new mental
health ward for autistic people and people with a learning disability at Avon and
Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust.
The completion of existing long term projects by our fantastically talented and
dedicated staff has been extremely moving. Feedback from participants - gathered
through increasingly robust and nuanced matrixes - note feelings of a sense of
community, broadened imagination and safety. Our work continues to bridge
damaging gaps between communities and cultural initiatives and organisations,
exemplified by the 'Look Groups, initiated in Cornwall - inclusive gatherings where
art is discussed, now a regular fixture on the wards.
This year our Lived Experience Team has been central to our implementation of
ambitious and forward-thinking projects that create meaningful change. Hospital
Rooms is committed to working with people who are like￿ to suffer from the
intersection of marginalisation. decision-making on projects, staff training and
programming leads with this in mind and it is an absolute priority. In-depth anti-
racism training was completed with Nova Reid and is planned for the forthcoming
year across staff and board with BRAP - this work is never complete. We have also
carefully aligned our strategy and frameworks with the NHS Patient Carer Race
Equality Framework IPCREF) and Culture of Care Standards.
In 2024/25. our engagement grew and diversified through the relaunched Digital Art
School and a fantastic series of public events. Digital Art School is an utterly unique
project, involving not only fully accessible online workshops with some of the most
exciting contemporary artists working today, but the delivery of 750 beautiful boxes
of art materials to every mental health hospital in the country- an amazing logistical
feat that has a profound impact on units that often have little or no art supplies. The
workshops engaged majority new audiences, which is testament to the ingenuity of
our communications and digital teams.
As ever, a wealth of partners have helped facilitate our programmes, including
Jameel Arts & Health Lab and the World Health Organisation. Norwich University of
the Arts. MAC (Midlands Art Centre). Fitzrovia Chapel and Arts Council England. The
final year of our partnership with Hauser & Wirth gallery was a celebration of a new
model for commercial and non-profit relationships. Alongside hitting our £1 million

Hospital Rooms
Annual Report Year Ended 31 March 2025
three-year fundraising target with Hauser & Wirth, our public programme and press
campaigns brought new friends and supporters to both the organisation and the
gallery. We are hugely grateful for the hard work of all our partners, which includes a
newly formed Gallery Circle. They are integral to our mission to de-stigmatise ill
mental health.
We remain in a healthy financial position due to diverse funding streams and
widespread support for our demonstrably impactful worl(. Both the NHS and art
sector are undergoing diff iculties, and Hospital Rooms remains a nimble and
responsive organisation. Next year will see us push our Development programmes
further with a series of ten-year anniversary projects, spearheaded by our Head of
Partnerships and Development Committee. Our engaged and collegiate Board and
Development Committee remain central to Hospital Rooms. operations and
governance. 202412025 saw us focusing on our approach to risk management to
ensure robustness.
Following careful work on organisational structure wtth the Board and SMT, we have
benefitted from the full time return of our Co-Founders Niamh White and Tim A
Shaw, whose dedication, intelligence and ambition remains truly inspirational. Our
Interim CEO, Kerry Bishop, completed her term and we are strengthening our Exec
team with a new Managing Director role.
We continue to deliver very well across all of Arts Council England National Portfolio
Organisation Investment Principles and are immensely grateful for ACE'S ongoing
support and collaboration.
In my role as Chair, it remains an utter privilege to work alongside a committed,
ambitious and energetic group of people who are effecting desperately needed
change in the mental health sphere at a time of prolonged challenge.

Hospital Rooms
Annual Report Year Ended 31 March 2025
The Trustees, who are also directors of the Charitable Incorporated Organisation
(the charity), present their report and the financial statements for Hospital Rooms for
the year ended 31 March 2025, which have been prepared in accordance with
Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice
applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial
Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), and
effective from accounting periods commencing 1 January 2015 or later.
PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES
Hospital Rooms is an award-winning arts and mental health charity that believes all
people in mental health hospitals should have the freedom to experience
extraordinary art.
The charity was founded in 2016 by artist Tim A. Shaw and curator Niamh White
after a close friend was sectioned and admitted to a locked mental health ward.
They were shocked by how stark, cold. clinical and inhumane the environment on
the ward was. This is further underscored by testimony in 202314 in which patients
and staff describe these mental health environments as being 'like prison,, 'hostile',
'bleak', 'uninspiring', and 'punishing'.
We commission artists to create inventive. compelling and compliant environments
and artworks for mental health units. Our artists work collaboratively with service
users, psychiatrists, allied health professionals and public health researchers to
create inspirational spaces that enrich quality of life, encourage conversation,
enhance self-esteem. and deepen ties between people. In addition, we facilitate
artist-led workshops for mental health service users that encourage meaningful
participation in creative activity and directly inform the artworks installed in the
environment. Our evaluations show that these sessions are effective in helping
people to acquire new skills and knowledge, improve self-belief, and form
connections.
We do this because:
People using these services face a severe inequality of opportunity to engage
with or be inspired by the arts (Mental Health Foundation 2020).
The physical environments in mental health units are inadequate and are not
conducive to recovery (Mind 2024).
We work with service users in mental health units who have often been sectioned
and detained under the Mental Health Act. In these wards. our participants. liberties
have been restricted and access to art is extremely limited. Our projects are
designed to be safe and appropriate for people who are receiving care for a variety
of severe and enduring mental health diagnoses, and we adapt our activities to
accommodate multiple generations (from CAMHS young people to older adults) and
a diverse range of access needs. People with severe and enduring mental illness
continue to face stigma and ostracism as a response to their diagnoses and
presentation. Many are dealing with co-marginalisations which further impact their
lives and prevent access to creative inspiration and activity. We know that people
with mental health problems are two to three times more likely to be from

households in the lowest 20 % income bracket than those in the highest (Mental
Health Foundation. 2016). Further. Black people almost 5 times as likely as white
people to be detained under the Mental Health Act and are disproportionately
affected by restrictive practices in mental health units. Our work is designed to
reach, engage, and energise the most vulnerable mental health service users,
improving their experience in hospital and contributing positively towards their
health and wellbeing.

Our project with Cornwall Partnership NHS Foundation Trust concluded during
2024125, marking the final phase of our multi-year programme across 6 mental
health wards in 2 hospitals: Bodmin Community Hospital and Camborne Redruth
Community Hospital. This included wards for acute adults and older people. a
Psychiatric Intensive Care Unit [PICU]. and a low secure forensic unit. In Spring
2024, our team completed our Season of Creativity workshop phase across both
hospital sites and entered an intensive installation period. Throughout 2024/5. 10
ambitious artworks were installed by artists Anna Barriball. Sovay Berriman.
Phillippa Clayden, Janet Holland, Chantal Joffe, Alvin Kofi. Abigail Reynolds, Ben
Sanderson, Melanie Stidolph, and the collective of Viviane Vaux and Maria
Christoforidou. This marked the successful completion of all 12 commissions for our
ambitious multisite Cornwall project.
NHS staff reported that the installations sparked lively conversations and reflection,
with both patients and staff feeling empowered to share their opinions and
responses. The Look Groups - inclusive gatherings where art is discussed without
the need for prior knowledge - established in the previous year played a vital role in
this process, equipping service users and staff with the confidence and language to
engage deeply with the artworks, fostering connection, curiosity, and conversation
across the wards where this had lacked previously.
One of the most inspiring stories emerging from our Visual Matrix with highly-
engaged staff at Bowman Ward, was that of an artwork service users had titled 'The
Patient Man, Guided by artist Phillippa Clayden, but painted by 10 resident service
users (or "The Bowmen") at the Male-on￿, medium-secure forensic unit, The Patient
Man emerged from a series of 9 workshops. including an excursion to the Cornish
hills which inspired the landscape. Staff commented that the group painting

responsible for painting the sun, would change the colour each session depending
on his mood, one who chose not to paint would curate a playlist for the group to
listen to while they painted. The centrepiece, a striking crow. was painted by one
service user who shared with staff that he had never had the opportunity to foster
his long-held passion for art. Staff shared that they have since been supporting him
with applications to a local college course in fine art. When invited to provide
feedback on their experience upon completion of the artwork, one service user
commented: "It is harder than it looks, but with your help - we can do it!YY

Patient-led installation for Longreach House
Another landmark of the 2024/25 period was Alvin Kofi's Freedom Wall, a large
interactive mural created for the 136 Suite at Longreach House - a Place of Safety
where individuals are brought for up to 24 hours to be assessed. Recognising the
vulnerability of those who use this space. Kofi designed the mural both to bring care
and colour into the environment and to provide occupants with an outlet for self-
expression. As Kofi described:
'The mural, entitled 'Freedom Wall,. is playfully designed to encourage
individuals to write. draw or design on the wall, offering them an outlet
that will hopefully bring them some positivity at a time that is possibly
the loneliest and most unsettling of their lives."
Staff affirmed its immediate impact:
"It's brightened up the area. too. because there's no natural light down
there. Now, even without changing the lighting, it looks brighter, it feels a
bit bigger. more airy, less stuffy."
And further:
"It's massively changed the space. Beforehand, it felt like a cell. It felt
that people were in there and locked up. whereas now it's a lot calmer. It
feels a lot nicer. and people have been interacting."

Our work at Hospital Rooms is founded on the belief that art is fundamental to what
makes us human- that it can nourish and heal, bring connection, joy and solace.
There are few contexts in which these qualities can have as much impact as the
mental health wards that care for people at the most vulnerable times in their lives.
As an organisation. our mission is to bring the highest quality artworks and creative
activity into these spaces and, in doing so, to challenge the stigma that continues to
be attached to severe mental illness and replace it with hope and humanity.
However, there is another, less optimistic belief that also influences our work: that
art is a rarefied subject- the preserve of a minority who hold the key to
understanding it or the talents necessary to create it. Each of the twelve artworks
that are now permanently installed across the mental health wards in Cornwall, and
the journeys towards their conception, stand as a rejection of this notion and a
testament to the positive power of art.
The transformation of the wards in Cornwall, and of their occupants, relationships
with art, would not have been possible without the commitment and vision of the
staff at Cornwall Partnership NHS Foundation Trust and the cultural organisations
who have been involved in this project. Now, the alienating perception of
contemporary art is being replaced by curiosity and excitement for the ways in
which it can enrich all of our lives. At Tate St Ives. service users, staff and people
with lived experience of mental health Se￿iceS have toured the galleries, discussing
the artworks on display and responding with their own creations. Clinical staff have
been trained to run 'Look Groups,. which will now be a regular fixture on the wards.
The gallery has become an inviting venue for outings in contrast to its previous
identity as somewhere for 'other people,. Newlyn Art Gallery & The Exchange and
intoBodmin have also provided settings for inspiring workshops described by

patients as 'calming', 'gentle' and 'fun' while our understanding of the intersection
between culture and healthcare in Cornwall has been greatly enriched by Arts Well,
who have so generously shared their knowledge and experience. The relationships
that the Trust has built with these organisations will ensure that access to culture
and creativity continues to play a role in recovery from mental illness well beyond
this project.
Debbie Richards. Chief Executive of Cornwall Partnership NHS Foundation Trust
reflected:
"The partnership approach embedded in the work facilitated by Hospital
Rooms has brought much joy to our patients and staff. Cornwall is a
very creative place: the engagement of our fabulously talented artists
with the people who use our services and the staff who care for them
has been so inspirational, enabling positive conversations that have
deepened mutual understanding and built confidence. The approaches
have been so inclusive, supporting people to tell their own stories which
have been heard with interest. respect and compassion.
It is these stories that have inspired and informed the artworks that now
proudly adorn our wards, not only improving them aesthetically but
making them feel like more welcoming, hopeful and calming care
environments. The artworks also provide ongoing conversation points
for all, and a legacy of curiosity and creativity alongside a newly
energised approach to engaging with the rich creative and cultural
scene in Cornwall.
The value of our participation in this work with Hospital Rooms has
exceeded our expectations and l am truly grateful to all those who have
worked so hard to make this project possible."

Over the past year, our team has worked closely wtth Sandwell CAMHS to transform
the busy service into a place of calm, hope. and inspiration for young people. As our
first CAMHS outpatient project, this has been a landmark programme for Hospital
Rooms, and 2024125 marked its concluding phase.
In Spring 2024. we entered the final installation period. completing 11 new artworks
to bring the project total to 13 commissions. These included works by artists Poppy
Nash, Andre Williams, Miranda Forrester. and Rana Begum, alongside an exterior
mural wall designed and completed by young people from the service. Artworks
were installed across the waiting room, therapy rooms, communal areas, and
corridors, responding directly to the needs and hopes expressed by staff and
service users in the Research and Development stages of the project.
Staff feedback gathered in our post-project visual matrix highlighted the profound
impact of these transformations. The artworks were described as "an invitation to

play" and "therapeutic tools" that enabled young people to explore and talk about
their feelings through colour and imagery. Clinical staff observed a reduction in
tension and anxiety in young people before assessments and sessions, crediting
this directly to the transformed entrance and waiting areas. In other parts of the
service, staff who had previously described the environment as "like a prison" now
reflected that the space was "homely and inviting."
The project was brought to a celebratory close with the launch of the Sandwell
CAMHS publication - featuring cover art created by young people themselves - and
a final event that welcomed 150 visitors from the wider community. Young people
proudly guided their families through the transformed spaces, introducing them to
the artworks they had helped to shape. Alongside this, the Hospital Rooms Impact
team piloted a new artist development evaluation with the Sandwell project artists,
which highlighted how the positive. collaborative atmosphere of the project may
come to influence their practice and the communities they work with in the future.

A significant talking point in our post-project visual matrix (an adapted focus group)
session with staff at Sandwell CAMHS was Miranda Forrester's Rooted - a
houseplant inspired mural for the ground floor corridor. In our pre-project visual
matrix. staff had talked at length about this corridor" sharing how staff, service
users, and visitors would walk through the space quickly, heads down, and actively
try to avoid waiting in the space - which wasn't always possible for parents and
guardians accompanying their young people to appointments. The space is
transformed, with different paint colours even aiding wayfinding in the space. Initially
the terracotta and earthy hues feel "warm and inviting" before they transform into
"fresh greens which feel earthy and organic." One staff member shared, "There is a
lot of emotion with these kinds of [corridor] spaces. If a parent is waiting
outside a therapy room, it won't feel as scary that they're leaving their child,
it'll feel that they are going to be cared about and that they're going to be
okay
Similarly. Sandwell's waiting area was transformed by artist Roo Dhissou and her
access support worker and carpenter Matt Foster, through a series of workshops
with a group of young people who have received care at Sandwell CAMHS. This
installation continues to be a focal point for the Sandwell CAMHS project. with staff
speaking to the "playful" and "helpfully distracting" character of the new space.
Young people and their visitors are encouraged to touch and explore every aspect
of the artwork. Staff in the post-project visual matrix underscored reports that the
space is helping to reduce anxiety for the CAMHS young people in relation to the
anticipation of their appointments:
"Parents have reported to us that their children 'feel less agitated,.
Whereas previously young people would cling to their parents and feel

We're often going to search for young people who were interacting with
Roo's artwork!11 Staff member. Sandwell CAMHS
Staff described the waiting area installation as, "imaginative", "tactile" and
"encouraging movement" with one Activity Coordinator commenting:
"A lot of the young people that we see really struggle with sitting still,
they struggle with waiting. So, the fact that the waiting room now offers
an invitation to just go and play, I think is just brilliant The tactile nature
of the first area, the fact that they can explore with their hands. and then
the big pin board thing where you can just go and move it around. This is
what we want. just for them to be able to explore the environment"

Installation by Rhoo Dhissou for Sandwell CAMHS
The Sandwell CAMHS project has been a remarkable journey. Since Spring 2023,
young people have worked alongside our partner artists and project team in
workshops that spanned everything from making natural dyes with onion skins, to
drawing comics, to floating down the canal on a narrowboat converted into an art
studio. Together with their families and staff, they debated what a mental health
service should feel like, and again and again the young people showed up - our
highest participant return rate to date - to create something lasting for their
community and the young people who would come to encounter the service in the
future.
18 months after our first visit to West Bromwich. we are proud to celebrate the
completion of 13 newly commissioned artworks for Sandwell CAMHS. These works
represent countless conversations and collaborations between artists, young
people, families, and staff, and embody themes that were central to the project: that
the building should feel welcoming, playful. and interactive. that the hierarchy of
clinical space couSd be disrupted through co-production: and that art should be for
and by anyone.

Following an intensive workshop season. 2024/25 saw our Hellesdon Hospital
project enter its major installation phase. This ambitious programme will transform
the new-build Rivers Centre with 15 permanent artworks. and over the past year the
project has advanced significantly toward this goal.
In Spring 2024, the first two murals were installed, followed shortly by a striking
mixed-method mural by Ken Nwadiogbu and the installation of Mark Titchner's Like
There is Hope and I Can D￿aM of Another World, first shown at our 2022 Hauser &
Wirth exhibition, now given a permanent home on the exterior of Hellesdon Hospital.
By the autumn, a further seven artworks had been completed, including works by
Nengi Omuku. Fabian Peake, Jade de Montserrat, and Sola Olulode, bringing our
total number of artist commissions across Hospital Rooms to over 200 since 2016.
The project concluded the period with the installation of the final five athorks,
achieving the full target of 15 for Hellesdon's Rivers Centre. Together, these
16

installations mark an extraordinary transfomation of the hospital environment and
lay the foundation for further legacy activity in the year ahead.
This project was shaped by close collaboration with hospital and contractual staff
throughout 202415, along with the establishment of a dedicated Artwork Approval
Group has ensured that proposals were carefully co-produced with attention to
logistical and clinical considerations on a new build site. The Trust's Nursing
Director, Chief Medical Officer, and Chief Finance Officer have all championed the
impact of the project. embedding its benefits into the culture of the new hospital.
Our partnerships with Norwich University of the Arts and our Lived Experience Team
have also deepened during this period: advising on data collection for our global
HOME research project, a partnership with Jameel Arts and Health Lab and the
World Health Organisation evaluating the impact of murals at 4 international hospital
sites, and co-curating Shape Shift. a reflective exhibition and event series at
Fitzrovia Chapel.
The impact of the project has already attracted significant attention. Staff tours of
the site highlighted the enthusiasm for new works such as Sola Olulode's mural, and
national broadcast coverage on The One Show is scheduled later in 2025 to further
share this work with audiences across the UK.
The Hellesdon Hospital project will continue into 2025126 with the launch of a
publication and a final celebration event. These will provide the opportunity to share
case studies in-depth and reflect fully on the legacy of this ambitious project. For
now, we celebrate the completion of 15 new artworks that will greet service users
and staff as the Rivers Centre opens its doors, another milestone moment for
Hospital Rooms.
Other Key Projects 2024125
Research and Development of Major Project across four NHS Trusts
Alongside concluding three major projects in Cornwall, Sandwell and Norwich.
2024/25 was also a year of laying strong foundations for the future. We undertook
intensive Research and Development on four new projects with NHS partners in
Avon and Wiltshire (Aw￿ South West), Birmingham (BWCFf Midlands), South West
Yorkshire (SWy￿ North) and North East London (NEL￿ East). Across these sites,
we hosted more than 30 workshops with 233 Se￿iCe users and staff participants,
embedding lived experience into every stage of project design.
At Birmingham Women's and Children's NHS Foundation Trust's Parkview Clinic,
an inpatient CAMHS unit, nine creative discovery sessions involved 46 young
participants, using large-scale collaborative painting. photovoice, collage and virtual
artist-led workshops via Digital Art School. A pre-project visual matrix with 14 staff
members highlighted, similarly to Sandwell, the need for more thoughtful and
homely environments: "There isn't a piece of wall that doesn't have a laminated
piece of nonsense on it. which you probably don't need to see. I think we can be
more thoughtful. This is their home." These insights will inform the early
development of 13 new artworks. with young people emphasising the importance of
creating a legacy that lasts beyond their hospital stay.
With Avon and Wiltshire NHS Foundation Trust, 6 workshops engaged 35
participants from the Bristol Autism Spectrum Service and Learning Disability
Forensic Service. Participants created collages of their ideal sensory spaces and
17

Hospital Rooms
Annual Report Year Ended 31 March 2025
developed imagery that will embed a kingfisher motif into the identity of the brand
new 10-bed inpatient service, The Kingfisher. Staff spoke of the importance of
creating spaces that are sensory and supportive, inclusive of diverse needs, and
comforting without suggesting permanence. One facilitator reflected:
"Each participant found their own way to engage with the session, and
we all worked on one collaborative artwork together- a great way of
working for this group."
At North East London NHS Foundation Trust Goodmayes Hospital, creative
discovery workshops engaged 38 service users and 52 staff, while more than 80
staff took part in a training session highlighting our commitment to the Patient Carer
Race Equality Framework (PCREF). 5 sound-building workshops with Joanna
Harries reached 85 participants, with a strong 60 % return rate. One participant
shared: "It was amazing, very therapeutic and facilitators were great. Everyone was
so engaged."
Our project with South West Yorkshire NHS Foundation Trust gathered
momentum through 9 R&D workshops and two creative sessions involving 65
service users and staff. Activities included collaging, abstract figuration, and
expressive painting, with participants emphasising the importance of creating
spaces that feel less clinical and more authentic. As one staff member noted, "One
service user was so pleased with his artwork he crafted a makeshift hook to display
it in his room.
Together, these achievements represent a significant expansion of our reach in
2024125. By engaging more than 230 people across 4 NHS Trusts, we have
deepened our understanding of diverse communities and embedded lived
experience into the early design of new programmes that will reshape mental health
environments with authenticity and care.
Hospital Rooms Digital Art School
In 2024/25, Hospital Rooms relaunched the Digital Art School {DAS) with a bold
new programme of workshops. materials distribution, live events and staff training.
The plattorm launched in May with a nationwide campaign and a live-streamed
workshop by Ken Nwadiogbu, joined by more than 300 participants across NHS
and community sites. Throughout the year, 13 new BSL-interpreted Digital Art
School workshops were produced with artists including Abbas Zahedi, Nengi
Omuku, Giles Deacon, Sutapa Biswas, Dolly Sen. Sarah Dwyer, Victoria Cantons
and Hamish Perch, with filming completed for Michaela Yearwood-Dan's
forthcoming release. A central strength of this year's programme has been its
responsiveness. We launched 7 instructional films for NHS staff. delivered in-
person training workshops across 10 Trusts, and created new support mechanisms
including open forums, condensed instructional films and one-to-one staff
interviews. These steps have boosted facilitator confidence and dismantled barriers
to running sessions. A "test, learn, adapt" approach also guided our digital strategy,
leading to strong growth through targeted campaigns such as Google Ad Grants,
social media activations and short-form workshop edits. Feedback mechanisms
were strengthened too, with QR codes added to materials boxes to encourage
service user and staff survey responses.

By the end of 2024125, the Digital Art School is fimily established as a national
programme. scaling our programme offer, building NHS staff confidence, and
creating meaningful opportunities for service users to connect with creativity in both
inpatient and community settings.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Install view of Shape Shift at Fitzrovia Chapel
Aim 1: Abundant and meaningful creative opportunities are accessible to the
most segregated individuals with severe and enduring mental health
diagnosesg providing them with a voice and a new sense of agency.
Our projects in 2024125 reached patient populations in highly restricted
environments, including Children and Adolescent Mental Health Services, adult
Acute inpatient wards, Psychiatric Intensive Care Units, and Forensic units. In
Cornwall, Sandwell, and Hellesdon. service users and staff co-produced 36 new
artworks, bringing the total number of Hospital Rooms commissions to more than
200 since 2016. Feedback gathered through visual matrices in Cornwall and
Sandwell reflected that the new environments "bring a sense of identity" broaden
the imagination" and "lighten the mood" for service users and staff alike.
The relaunch of DAS had a wide-reaching and measurable impact across the UK.
The live-streamed launch workshop by Ken Nwadiogbu attracted more than 300
participants, with 72 % taking part for the first time, demonstrating the impact of
our outreach campaign and the delivery of 750 art materials boxes to over 600
mental heaFth units. Participant surveys showed that 96 % rated the workshops
19

Hospital Rooms
Annual Report Year Ended 31 March 2025
"Excellent" or "Good" describing them as "hopeful"
'imaginative" and 'inspiring"
Staff also emphasised the value of the workshops as therapeLrtic tools that support
confidence in facilitating art sessions. One participant reflected:
"These workshops help you to understand just how easy it is to get
going on something creative. They appeal to beginners as well as those with
lots of creative mileage."
Our digital reach grew significantly. with 54.392 views on YouTube and expanded
audiences across all social media platfonms. The new training materials and
responsive digital strategy have strengthened engagement and accessibility, while
QR-coded feedback tools have deepened our understanding of impact among
service users and staff alike. Together, these outcomes demonstrate the success of
the relaunch in broadening participation. enhancing staff confidence. and
embedding the Digital Art School as a vttal, creative resource across NHS and
community mental health settings.
Aim 2: Mental health environments are imaginative and cultural spaces that
offer those they care for solace, comfort and dignity.
2024/25 marked a defining moment for our impact on NHS environments. as we
achieved the significant milestone of 200 artworks installed in mental health settings
since Hospital Rooms began. At Hellesdon Hospital's new Rivers Centre, staff
reflected on the transformative effect of works by artists including Sola Olulode.
Nengi Omuku, and Jade de Montserrat during site tours, and enthusiasm has grown
further through national media interest.
The Cornwall and Sandwell projects concluded with final artworks that staff and
service users alike described as "homely"
"empowering" and "child-friendly"
These spaces have not only lifted mood but also addressed long-standing concerns
about clinical settings feeling institutional or unwelcoming. As one Sandwell staff
member commented. "I see it so differently now. It's so child-friendly, and looks
like a CAMHS service should."
Aim 3: Mental health environments are connected to the outside world through
what people see, engage in and can access beyond inpatient care.
Our legacy-building approach continued to create bridges between inpatient and
community life in 2024/5. In Cornwall, Tate St Ives memberships are offered to
service users upon discharge. ensuring long-term access to creativity. At Hellesdon,
this commitment was realised through Shape Shift, an exhibition and event series at
Fitzrovia Chapel co-curated with Norwich University of the Arts and our Lived
Experience Team, further connecting service users, artists. and the wider public.
Following the completion of 15 artworks at Hellesdon Hospital, Shape Shift opened
at Fitzrovia Chapel - a space once used for respite by hospital communities. The
exhibition explored the intersections between personal. clinical and institutional
narratives through a patient-produced cyanotype. a sound installation, and small-
scale recreations of the Hellesdon artworks. Audiences were invited to engage with
20

Hospital Rooms
Annual Report Year Ended 31 March 2025
the transformations taking place in mental health settings through sensory and
critical exploration.
The response was overwhelmingly positive: 1.789 people vi51ted the exhibition,
which was described in evaluations as "beautiful. imaginative and immersive.
Attendees scored the public programme an average of 9.2110 across all dimensions
(local impact, inclusivity. and notably 10110 for repeat participation).
One visitor reflected:
"The real purpose, impact and significance of Hospital Rooms, work
came to the fore."
The exhibition was further activated by three thoughtfully curated events: a
celebratory opening night, a panel talk featuring Hellesdon Hospital project artists,
and a Deaf-led BSL tour with artist Rubbena Aurangzeb-Tariq. These events
expanded access and brought new perspectives to the work, with 100 % of survey
respondents saying they felt welcomed and wanted to participate again (10110
across both intelligence dimensions.) Shape Shift marks an important moment in
reflecting on the power of co-produced arts interventions to reshape mental health
environments with authenticity and care.
This year also marked the conclusion of our 3-year partnership with Hauser & Wirth,
celebrated through a public exhibition of the Digital Art School alongside our annual
fundraising auction with Bonhams. Collectively, these activities brought our work
into dialogue with wider cultural and educational audiences, strengthening our aim
to position mental health environments as cultural as well as clinical spaces. The
exhibition showcased the work of an extraordinary roster of Hospital Rooms partner
artists, including Nengi Omuku, Giles Deacon and Sutapa Biswas, while spotlighting
the new-look Digital Art School. Visitors were invited to create their own artworks,
with Digital Art School workshops projected in the space and materials provided to
enable participation. Contributions from visitors gradually filled the gallery walls.
culminating in a striking display of over 2,000 works that reflected the growing
Digital Art School community nationwide.
Across the public programme, 355 people attended activation talks, workshops,
and guided tours. Highlights included a figure drawing class with Eileen Cooper and
Siphiwe Mnguni, described by one participant as "pure perfection" and "incredibly
uplifting.. I left floating, and with a smile on my face., A sensory workshop with
Abbas Zahedi and Shepherd Manyika was praised as "a chance to come together
with art lovers!" while a BSL-guided tour with Rubbena Aurangzeb-Tariq received
the highest ratings for fostering a sense of community, with 92 % of attendees
scoring 9/10 in feedback surveys in response to the statement "I felt a sense of
community here."
One participant reflected:

Hospital Rooms
Annual Report Year Ended 31 March 2025
"I have been greatly helped and nourished by the output of Hospital
Rooms. It has helped me so much with my anxiety and has given me
back a great deal of confidence and is propelling me forward again."
Concluding the exhibition, our annual auction in partnership with Bonhams raised
funds that brought us to our target of £1 million across the 3-year partnership.
Aim 4: New knowledge and research generated through equitable partnerships
between artists, people who have lived experience of mental health services,
and educational partners.
We made major advances in evaluation and research this year. Data collection for
the global Hospital Murals Evaluation (HOME) project. in partnership with Jameel
Arts & Health Lab and the World Health Organisation, was completed in 2024/25,
moving us closer to the publication of our pioneering evaluation of murals in
hospitals. Alongside this, our in-house evaluation was refined and expanded to
include new measures of local impact. inclusivity, and repeat participation. These
dimensions, trialled across multiple projects during the Research & Development
phase, returned our highest scores to date, averaging 9.4110 across all
categories.
Our partnership with NO￿lCh University of the Arts deepened further, both through
Shape Shift and through continued collaborative evaluation design. We also
introduced an artist development evaluation which provided valuable insight into
how Hospital Rooms projects can shape artist practice and career trajectories, with
100 % of artists surveyed so far saying they would like to work with mental health
service users again as a result of their Hospital Rooms commission.
In addition to meeting our participation and installation targets across all three core
projects. and embarking on four more. we have made great strides in several key
areas corresponding with our charity's mission and vision. 202412025 marked our
second year as an Arts Council England [ACE] National Portfolio Organisation
[NPO]. We continued our ambitious 3-year strategy in line with ACE'S 4 investment
principles.. Inclusivity & Relevance, Ambition & Quality, Dynamism. and
Environmental Responsibility, advancing our work significantly in each of these
areas including:

undertakes and have opportunities to visit projects and meet with Hospital Rooms
collaborators.
The key risks being considered are-
The charity suffers reputational damage following acceptance of funds from
'undesirable' or damaging partner
We continue to observe a robust Ethical Fundraising Policy and Due Diligence
Process. The Board of Trustees shall consider all potential donations referred to it by
the Executive (for corporates £5k and above, funders £1 Ok and above) in
accordance with the following principles of ethical fundraising. Hospital Rooms will
not accept funds in circumstances when:
The donation is made anonymously, through an intermediary who is not
prepared to identify the donor to anyone at Hospital Rooms.
The donor has acted, or is believed to have acted. illegally in the
acquisition of funds. for example when funds are tainted through being
the proceeds of criminal conduct" or.
When acceptance of the funds would, in the judgement of the Board of
Trustees, significantly damage the effective operation of Hospital Rooms
in delivering its mission, whether because such acceptance would:
1. Harm Hospital Rooms, relationship wtth other donors. partners, or stakeholders.
2. Create unacceptable conflicts of interest.
3. Materially damage the reputation of Hospital Rooms; or,
4. Detrimentally affect the ability of Hospital Rooms to fulfil its mission in any other
way than is mentioned above.
Hospital Rooms additionally undertake an annual review of existing funders and
present an update to the Board of Trustees.
Operational capability (systems and processes) does not keep up with growth
of charity leading to projecvcharity failure.
We have invested in operational capability through a major grant in particular
relation to digital technology. This work continues with further development of IT

and HR functionality and external support. Trustees monitor operational capacity
quarterly.
Operational, reputational or legal issues resulting from failure to learn from
mistakes and to implement best practice
We have a rigorous. mixed-method evaluation methodology in place which ensures
we are receiving feedback from service users and wider stakeholders at multiple
points of engagement and reviewing with our team, board, and investors (NPO) at
quarterly intervals.
Operational, reputational or legal issues result from failure to follow best
practice in recruitment or human resources issues
Our HR consultant Peninsula is a leading expert in Employment law. HR and Health
and Safety. Through their services, we can ensure an excellent experience for our
staff team and freelancers as well as meeting all regulatory and legal standards.
They continue to operate on a monthly retainer for us.

environment
Every workshop and installation is thoroughly risk assessed. These are approved
internally by our Production Lead as well as our collaborating NHS health and safety
partner. Additional training budget has been allocated for working at heights and
manual work. Artists and team members are thoroughly inducted before entering
hospitals. We have a daily checklist manifesto for all team on projects to ensure
consistent behaviour. We offer pre and after care for artists and staff including
access to therapy.
Service user harmed (physically or psychologically) during workshop using
materialslequipment provided by HR or as a result of HR activity.

processes and to the Board of Trustees. We have introduced a daily checklist
manifesto for all team on projects to ensure consistent behaviour and organise
regular check ins with ward staff to assess risk onwards. Any materials brought onto
wards suitable for specific ward community.
Funding shortfall due to failure of fundraising event, initiative. andlor trading
revenue stream

FUTURE PLANS 2024-27
Over the coming three years. we will work with patients with Severe Mental Illness,
NHS staff and artists to re-imagine mental health hospital spaces. This project will
generate 52 museum quality site specific artworks and 150 creative workshops in
mental health services. During this project, we will partner with four NHS Trusts and
a consortium of major cultural partners.
Grounded in the learning from this project and informed by eight years of
experience and evaluation at Hospital Rooms. we are co-developing a new National
Framework for Equal Access to Arts for Mental Health Services, designed for
scalable national and international impact in mental health care.
National Framework for E
ual Access to Arts for Mental Health Services
This involves:
Consolidating Hospital Rooms data and evaluations 2016-2024 and
continually monitoring 2025-28 project delivery and impact
Hosting 6 research seminars and an international symposium with partners to
invite cross-disciplinary learnings for our Framework
Publishing a National Framework for Equal Access to Arts for Mental Health
Services, providing a scalable model for application nationally and
internationally
Presenting and disseminating the model nationally and internationally through
strategic exhibitions, publications, conferences and journals
Digital Art School
We will continue to develop our Digital Art School, which provides accessible
creative session via video, professional grade art materials and support for NHS
staff for all NHS mental health hospitals in England. With the continued support of
Arts Council England and Winsor & Newton among others, the Digital Art School
continues to provide time saving ways in which more creative activities can be
available to people on a regular basis within mental health wards. In addition, we
have launched a Digital Art School Facilitator programme to build confidence and
ownership within NHS teams.
10 new artist led videos will be released
1000 art boxes will be delivered
New supporting videos and resources for NHS staff will be launched
In 2025/26, we will be implementing work to develop Digital Art School sessions
and resources with and for young people in Children and Adolescent mental health
services.

concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authori5ed for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concem are described in the relevant

knowledge obtained in the audit or othe￿1$e appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material
inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a
material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude

Re5ponsibilitie5 of trustee5
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees, Responsibilities, the trustees are responsible for the preparation
of the financial statements which give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is
necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error.
In preparing the financial Statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a
going concern, disclosing. as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of
accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to ￿aSe operations, or have no realistic
alternative but to do so.
Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditors under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the
Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from
material mi55tatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes
our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance. but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in
accordance with ISAS IUKI will always detert a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from
fraud or error and are considered material if. individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to
influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the entity and
determined the most significant are those that relate to FRS 102 leffective l January 20191, pension laws and
regulations and tax regulations.
We asse55ed the ri5k5 of material mi55tatement in respect of fraud as follows..
Enquiries made of management and those charged with governance as well as the service
in relation to payroll services
Analytical procedures were used to identify if there were any unusual or unexpected relationships
Discussions with management to identify any fraud risk fattors of related party relationships and transactions
organisation
Based on the results of our risk assessment we designed our audit procedures to identify non-compliance with such
law5 and regulations identified above.
Enquiries were made of management and those charged with governance. We corroborated our enquiries through
the review of Board Minutes and other papers provided. There was no contradictory evidence.
We considered the risk of fraud through managemerbt override and, in response, we incorporated testing of manual
journal entrie5 into our audit approach. We tested year end journals as well as journal entries throughout the year.
There were no transactions identified outside the normal course of busine5S.
Based on the results of our risk assessment we designed our audit procedures to identify and to address material
misstatements in relation to fraud. We incorporated an element of unpredictability in the selection of the nature,
timing, and extent of audit procedures.
Where transaction meeting risk criteria were identified. we carried out further work such as additional testsng to
source information.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial 5tatement5 is located on the Financial
Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uVauditor5respon5ibilities. This description forms part of our Report of
the Independent Auditors.
