Help needed in the Garden of Earden

Part of the Secret Garden mural completed by Reading Art students

Can you help our Art students complete their project to create a magical world for children visiting the Royal Berkshire Hospital?

Seven of our students have begun to improve the waiting area in the Hospital's Children's Audiology Department to make it a much more child-friendly place to be but they are now in need of funds to complete their project that they call the ‘Garden of Earden'.

They have worked hard over the summer to complete two beautiful murals, the first based on the structure of the inner ear, the second a magical garden scene.

They have also begun a revamp of the furniture and an interactive light installation but they have now had to stop work due to lack of funds.

Dr Laura Booth, Clinical Scientist, Royal Berkshire Hospital said of the work so far: "It looks so lovely, we can not say thank you enough. I can't stop looking at it, and I keep finding new things I haven't seen, it'll be so much fun for the children."

Student Kassie Headon said: "It is going to make such a difference if we can finish this project, but we still need to raise over £1,000 to make it happen."

If you can help the students complete their work, please go to the Kickstarter website . Every pound will count!
