Back in November a group of our students
submitted designs for The Rotherham NHS Foundation Trust (TRFT) to design a
memorial to remember all the people who have donated organs and tissues for transplantation,
and to recognise those that have benefited from these transplants.
Eight students in all submitted
designs and Charlotte Cash’s ‘Lotus Flower’ was chosen. Charlotte worked with the Artist Clinton
Challanor to carve the sculpture with help from fellow student Lucy green and Ngaire Burston who designed the open evening
invite. After much hard work from the
students involved, Clinton and Lyn Hodnett (who expertly managed the project in
Bev’s absence) the opening ceremony took place on Tuesday 26th
February. Attended by the Mayor,
clinicians and people affected by the issued around organ and tissue donation
the opening was a great success. Charlotte was presented with her prize (an
Ipad!) by the Mayor and we all enjoyed seeing the finished piece displayed so
beautifully. We in the Art Department are very proud to have one of our
students produce such a fantastic piece of work which will be on display for
years to come. Well done Charlotte and a
huge thank you to Clinton Challanor and Lyn.
Charlotte's sculpture can be seen can be
seen on the wall, in the seating area, opposite Boots, at Rotherham Hospital.
