NHS Community Mural

NHS, THAMES HOUSE, TEDDINGTON

In July 2023, Molly Hawkins marked the 75th anniversary of the NHS by partnering with the Hounslow and Richmond Community Healthcare NHS Trust for a mural project celebrating this cornerstone of British society.

The collaborative artwork involved painting vibrant, joyful shapes on wooden panels, serving as a backdrop for NHS staff to add their own touch by painting local flora and fauna. The resulting mural, themed 'Nature and Serenity,' became a testament to the resilience and creativity of the NHS team. Despite the capricious British weather, the team completed the piece with a "rainbow brolly" in hand.

This project was not just an artistic endeavour but also a stand in support of the NHS amidst its current challenges, echoing the call to 'SAVE OUR NHS.' The mural celebrates the dedication of NHS staff and serves as a vibrant reminder of the community's appreciation and support.

The project highlights the importance of art in fostering community spirit and supporting essential services like the NHS. It stands as a colourful and enduring tribute to the hard work and dedication of healthcare professionals.
