The group recently celebrated their 6th anniversary with an art-based workshop led by Sofie Layton.
Sofie has worked as an artist for over 30 years. Sophie’s work includes an art installation at Evelina Children’s Hospital, a residency at Great Ormond Street Hospital and she has worked with the Eye-YPAG based at Moorfields Eye Hospital. She also led The Heart of the Matter (2016-2019) a national project exploring the medical, experiential and poetic dimensions of the heart.
