Hope in action: shredding and pulping old medical paperwork, transforming it into something beautiful.
About this Event

The NHS is going ‘paper-free’, it’s good for the environment and improves efficiency but there’s a risk that people who are digitally excluded get left behind. At the same time, if you’ve ever been a patient in hospital you will have been inundated with paper – reports, information leaflets, appointment letters - all the physical reminders of difficult times, diagnoses, treatments, healing or loss.

We want to hear how our patients feel about the NHS app and digital communication. While we listen and chat, we want to take some of those papers and make them into something new and beautiful. We want to talk, listen and bring some hope.


Joy for Stuff are working with Homerton Healthcare NHS Trust to help us collectively shred, pulp, squish and re-make our NHS paper leftovers into new and beautiful paper. Bring your paperwork, and your thoughts about NHS communication and digital changes, and be prepared to shred, share, reflect and make something new together.

Each participant will have something to take home, and we’ll keep some of our creations for an ongoing exhibition so that we can continue these important conversations with others in the community. Come along, join in, share your thoughts, have some fun, take some hope.
