Colleagues and patients on the Discharge Lounge at HRI could be forgiven for thinking they’re in an art gallery, after a kind donation of original artwork was given to them by a former patient.

Ward Manager, Kath Stubbington, bottom right, said: “Tim was waiting to go home from the lounge and was just sitting admiring our window of Bolton Abbey.

“We started talking as it’s my favourite window too, and I found out he had taken exactly the same photo himself and used acrylics to paint it.

“It turned out he’s been an independent artist for more than 40 years showing his work in galleries, with many now in local cafes in Holmfirth.

“He told me he was inspired by our windows and wanted to donate some of his artwork to brighten up the walls and help create a more cheerful space for our patients.

“In all Tim gave us six original prints. It’s so very kind of him and they are absolutely beautiful.”

The Discharge Lounge Team are on site Monday to Friday between 07:00 and 19:30. You can call 07379 061905 to refer patients.
