Imperial College Healthcare Charity Impact report 2015/2016
This report highlights some of Imperial College Healthcare Charity's achievements during the year, and in particular focuses on the real difference we have made to patients, families, visitors and staff in and around the five hospitals we support. The figures speak for themselves - over £12 million in grant funding to more than 100 projects, nearly £500,000 supporting research, and £55,000 directly to patients and families in real financial need through our 'Dresden Fund' grants.

Brightening our hospitals with art<br />
The charity’s arts team brings works of art into our hospitals to enhance the<br />
healthcare environment for patients, staff and visitors.<br />
We have one of London’s leading hospital art collections, with a wide variety of<br />
paintings, sculptures, drawings, prints, stained glass and tapestry.<br />
The art collection is just one part of our wider arts programme, which also includes<br />
music workshops for the children at St Mary’s Hospital, craft workshops for elderly patients<br />
and creative workshops for the different hospital communities.<br />
Our arts manager, Lucy Zacaria, said: “Our aim is to change the way the hospital<br />
environment is experienced, seeking to transform a clinical and sometimes intimidating<br />
environment into a bright, uplifting and reassuring place where the arts are promoted<br />
for the enjoyment of all.”<br />
British painter and printmaker Tom Hammick’s prints are part of the Art in Focus exhibition:<br />
Capturing the Light at Hammersmith Hospital. After this they will be permanently installed in<br />
10 South and Marjorie Warren wards at Charing Cross Hospital. Hammick’s work reflects on<br />
man’s place in the world, his dramatic landscapes often revealing the ‘otherworldliness’ of life.<br />
