SMILE INSIDE - CAN YOU HELP BRING A STORY TO LIFE? Smile Inside is a project developed in response to Covid-19 by Creating with Care and IID dance company to connect with and support patients at Witney Community Hospital. The project asks patients to share a story that makes them smile, each story will be recorded and used as a starting point for the creative response.

We are now asking professional artists, staff, and the community for their creative responses to the stories which will be exhibited at Witney Community Hospital this summer. Creative responses can be in any genre, a painting, sculpture, poem, collage, dance, song or any combination. All the creative responses we receive will be given to the person whose story inspired the artwork to help put a smile on their faces. The images below show how this might come to life and make a real difference to the person who has told their story.

If you would like to create a response please contact angela.conlan@oxfordhealth.nhs.uk

Volunteers' Week 2021

It will also be an opportunity to meet other volunteers and share our experiences of the past year. If nothing else, the last year has taught us the importance of relationships and the difference you make in the life of others. Let's continue to celebrate our togetherness and the difference volunteers make. If you have any suggestions for activities, email volunteering@oxfordhealth.nhs.uk.

Volunteers' Week takes place as usual between 1 - 7 June. This year we would like to host a Volunteers' Day - scheduled for Monday 7 June. In line with current restrictions, it would be a virtual event with activities focused on wellbeing and support. Just a small gesture to thank you for your ongoing dedication to the Trust.

Look out for your invite in the post next month.
