Now more than ever kindness and community have come to the fore in our everyday lives. Small acts of kindness are making a huge difference across the UK as the people come together to support each other through the difficult times we are facing as a nation.
As part of their drive to brighten up the local Hartlebury based community creative communications group DRPG worked together with the Worcestershire County Council to create a surprise installation on Charles Hastings Way just outside Worcestershire Royal Hospital, Worcester. The multicoloured artwork depicts seven rainbows, thanking the NHS and key workers for showing their true colours throughout the crisis and working hard to protect all those in need. The installation was created with the aim of bringing a smile to people’s faces and brightening up essential workers’ days.
Put in place on early on the morning of Thursday 14th by DRPG’s technical production team, the seven rainbows were greeted with delight by those heading into the hospital in the morning to start their shifts and will continue to stand and bring joy to those that see them.
Dale Parmenter CEO of DRPG commented: “We are proud to have made some of our brave frontline workers smile today. We are so glad to be able to use our skills and resources to brighten up people’s lives. The sacrifices people are making in such scary and uncertain circumstances is truly humbling and any small act of support we can make to give our thanks for their hard work, is our pleasure. We hope this art continues to bring a smile to people’s faces and encourages them to keep up their amazing work.”
Councillor Simon Geraghty, Leader of Worcestershire County Council said: “The installation by DRPG is wonderful and a really fitting tribute to our NHS colleagues who have worked tirelessly during this pandemic. We were more than happy to help with this tribute in whatever way we could, and it is great that has brought a smile to so many people’s faces during this testing time.”
