Touching mosaics made with the help of patients at Dorothy House Hospice Outreach Centre have been unveiled on the bandstand in Trowbridge Park.

The two pieces of art were inspired by the themes of spring and autumn using the thoughts and ideas of hospice patients.

As mayor Glyn Bridges’ chosen charity for 2014-15, Dorothy House has been doing collaborative work with the council and was approached to make something for the town. With the aid of generous donations, the hospice was able to commission local artist Joanna Dewfall.

Ms Dewfall completed most of the mosaic before finishing touches were made by volunteers, staff, patients, carers and some bereaved families, as well as Cllr Bridges.

The new chief executive officer of Dorothy House, John Davies, was at the unveiling last Thursday, with Wayne de Leeuw and Louise Clapton from the Outreach Centre and families of those who took part in the project and have since died.

Community and outreach team manager at Dorothy House Hospice Mr de Leeuw said: “It is very moving for some of the people who took part. It’s really beautiful; I will always walk past it thinking about the people who made it.

“There are some patients who had an impact who are no longer here and that is really powerful. It is a legacy for prosperity and a massive thank you to Trish Carpenter, Glyn Bridges and Trowbridge Town Council for asking us to take part in this fantastic opportunity.”

Cllr Bridges said: “The mosaics are a very nice addition to the bandstand and they have done an excellent job.

“We were looking for somewhere in the park to put them and it was decided that the bandstand would be the best place, as it means they can be seen by lots of people.

“They provide another point of interest in the park and are a very nice enhancement. It’s always great to work with Dorothy House as it is a local charity that provides amazing support to people in the community.”
