What a lovely afternoon to host Darren Henley CBE and Hannah James from Arts Council England yesterday. The sun shone for us, making the beautiful array of artwork around Sunflowers Court at Goodmayes Hospital even more striking.

Thank you to Niamh White MBE and Tim Shaw at Hospital Rooms for showcasing the project and walking us through the artworks, where service users and artists had come together to workshop ideas about what art they wanted in and around the wards.

"It brings people together". "The workshop was a great experience".

"It's such a pleasure seeing the art bring joy and making people smile".

The project demonstrates the impact of creative arts in rehabilitation and in improving people's experiences while receiving care.

Change is a normal part of growing up, but that doesn't mean it's always easy.

Starting secondary school, beginning GCSEs or A-levels, moving to college or university, or starting work can bring excitement, but also anxiety and uncertainty.

This we're encouraging families, carers and teachers to check in, listen and support young people through life's transitions.

Small conversations can make a big difference.
