Wards 1 and 5 Parent Rooms

Thanks to support from the True Colours Trust, two Parent Rooms at Sheffield Children’s were transformed by Art+ into warm, welcoming spaces offering families comfort and calm during hospital stays.
Wards 1 and 5 Parent Rooms

Staying in hospital can be a stressful and anxious time for families. By offering parents a calm and comforting space to relax away from the ward, we can help them support their child during their time in hospital.

Thanks to a grant donation from the True Colours Trust, two Parent Rooms have been improved on Wards 1 and 5. Ward 5 received the most prominent works, with a new entryway, comfy sofas, white goods, crockery, and a complete refresh featuring relaxing new artwork. Ward 1 now has an extended recess, which has created a separate kitchen area for parents to store and prepare hot food and drinks.

The Art+ team transformed the rooms into warm and welcoming places for parents to take a little time away from the wards, prepare meals, make hot drinks and relax.
