Many Happy Returns: NHS at 70

A socially engaged arts project celebrating NHS’s 70th birthday working closely with local communities to capture memories, personal stories and social history to explore the meaning and value of the NHS for diverse individuals and groups. Artists and local people created 3 banners using traditional Trade Union banner-making skills; printed hospital screens; bunting; a book and an embroidered armchair. Now part of Thackray Museum of Medicine’s Permanent Collections and as a case study on Arts University Bournemouth and Nottingham Trent University’s Stitching Together case study digital gallery.
