HELLINGLY CENTRE 2019

This project has been transformative for our patients, and over the six months Hospital Rooms have been on-site at Hellingy we have watched, not just our building, but also our patients come to life. It has been an exercise in the healing power that creativity and meaningful engagement can have on fractured human souls. We have men and women who have rarely engaged attend workshops with people they do not know, and learn new skills. This may seem small, but in the closed world of the psychiatric ward it is huge. Monumental. – Laury Jeanneret
