Beacons of Hope

Young People Making Their Mark
The Beacons of Hope project is designed to raise awareness about the challenges young people face and to help them access the support they need.To achieve this, we worked with young people and a local artist to design and install two murals—one at The Great Western Hospital and another at The Base youth centre. Each mural includes a QR code that links directly to a support page for children and young people.
