Company activities and impact

Messages of Hope organises a range of projects each year, each designed to connect communities through creativity and collective empathy. Our initiatives include collaborative art pieces, video projects for mental health awareness days, and public displays of messages of hope. During this financial year we have provided psychiatric wards with over 200 Bags of Hope. Bags of Hope are gift bags filled with essential items for patients to have when they arrive on psychiatric wards. All the items we out into the bags are donated by members of the public. We were able to provide Bags of Hope for psychiatric wards in Cardiff, Bath, Bristol and London. Additionally, in order to fund our Bags of Hope project we created jumpers and colouring books that people were able to purchase and all proceeds went to supporting Bags of Hope. We were commissioned by The Mayor of London and Thrive LDN to make a video for Great Mental Health Day. We travelled across London and asked individuals to write messages of hope for people struggling with their mental health. We also worked with dancers from England and Wales, as well as Speaker Box Street Party. The video was premiered at City Lit, alongside an exhibition of photography, taken during production. Messages of Hope set up a collaborative art project at Barry Island. We took several canvases to a beach in our local area and interacted with the local community, asking them to write messages of hope for people struggling with their mental health on our canvases. Over 250 people were able to write on our canvases. These canvases are now permanently displayed at a local community centre.

Consultation with stakeholders

We conducted several surveys and reached out to multiple psychiatric wards and individuals that we have worked with over the last year. Here is what we found: 56% of people who had been admitted to the psychiatric wards that we worked with, stated that they arrived with no belongings. One patient stated, 'I was given nothing and I had nothing but my phone. I'd just had a baby and I wasn't even given pads.' In one questionnaire we conducted, we learned that 100% of people believed that upon admission to a psychiatric ward, they would have benefited from receiving a Bag of Hope. Feedback from individuals that work on psychiatric wards: "We have been privileged enough to receive Bags of Hope in this health board and it has been widely welcomed from patients, team members and senior management because of the positive impact of being given items that are beneficial to a patients stay in hospital. Patients have felt that they have been understood in terms of their needs, made to feel cared for because of the unexpected items and also seen because some of the items were unknowingly, much needed. There is no other provision for this as a service and I would champion the use of Bags of Hope far and wide due to the positive impact." "We provided Bags of Hope to our patients around Christmas time as this was when we had ours delivered. I know they were very well received and I still see lots of the items being used 3 months on! The staff loved them too."
