We worked with artists, patients and staff to create a series of extraordinary artworks for Bluebird House, a unit for young people with mental health difficulties who have been in touch with the criminal justice system in Southampton.

‘This experience has opened our young people up to a new world of creative possibilities and really engaged them positively. The artworks have created a more enriching environment that breeds discussion. Also having the additional artwork of the beautiful piano has also made a huge difference. This has been an amazing experience to be a part of.’
