SANDWELL CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENT SERVICE 2024
We’re working with young people to transform an outpatient building in Sandwell.

PROJECT INTRODUCTION
We’re collaborating with artists and young people over the next year to make Sandwell CAMHS a more beautiful and creative place. Together, we’re going to transform the CAMHS building with artworks made especially for these spaces, co-produced with and for the young people who encounter the service.

“It is wonderful that Sandwell CAMHS has teamed up with Hospital Rooms to bring beautiful, unique artwork to our Lodge Road site. The project will bring Sandwell young people together and give them a chance to express themselves creatively, while making a real difference to improve the environment for young people who use our service.”
