Areas at Boston Pilgrim Hospital have been given a makeover thanks to a donation through our partnership with Allison Homes.
A series of vibrant murals have been created in the neonatal and children’s units at the hospital, thanks to a £6,400 donation by Allison Homes.
The donation comes as part of their commitment to donate £100 for each affordable home completed through our ongoing partnership.
The latest donation was made to Local Hope, a charity dedicated to supporting vulnerable adults in Boston, and follows the completion of the 64-home The Skylarks development in Frampton.
The artwork – designed to bring joy, warmth and a sense of calm to patients and their families during challenging times – was created by artist Michelle Codling, who’s known professionally as ‘The Painting Lady’.
Marcus Keys, Chief Development and Commercial Officer at Amplius, said: “Our partnership with Allison Homes – and the charitable donations that come as a result of this – continue to go from strength to strength.
“Our development in Frampton is providing much needed affordable housing to the area, and to also be able to generate a generous contribution to an important local charity is wonderful.
“I’d like to thank all my colleagues at Amplius and Allison Homes for their hard work in bringing these homes to fruition and I’d also like to wish Local Hope the very best of luck for all the brilliant work they continue to do.”
The murals were unveiled during a photoshoot at the hospital earlier in February.
Hazel Marsh, Founder of Local Hope, said: “This incredible donation is going to be a game-changer for the hospital community. Michelle’s murals bring colour, hope and comfort to the hospital environment – we’re absolutely thrilled and deeply thankful for their support.”
A spokesperson from Pilgrim Hospital’s children’s services added: “The murals have transformed the ward spaces. They create a welcoming, reassuring environment that helps lift the spirits of families and children during their stay. The artwork not only brightens the walls – it brightens the whole experience.”
Our partnership with Allison Homes has an established track record of delivering successful developments to effectively address local housing needs.
James Pennington, Group Partnership & Investment Director of Allison Homes said: “We are thrilled to be supporting Local Hope with this donation.
“Their important work in the Boston community aligns perfectly with our commitment to building thriving communities, and the new murals are a wonderful addition to Pilgrim Hospital, which plays such an important role in supporting local families. This contribution has helped them continue their brilliant work.
“Our partnership with Amplius has been instrumental in identifying and supporting local charities like Local Hope, thanks to our shared values of addressing both housing needs and community support.”
