Murals of Hope at Cygnet Kenney House

In a creative collaboration to enhance the environment of Cygnet Kenney House, our new hospital for women in Oldham, Alexandra Elstone, a muralist from Leeds, has been busy adding finishing touches to the hospital’s interior with a series of eye-catching murals. Alexandra has completed a number of murals across Cygnet already, with this being the largest project so far.

The thoughtfully designed pieces aim to combine a contemporary and colourful feel with uplifting and positive messages. Two of the four murals are in the café area and feature a vibrant, leafy design, creating a refreshing and inviting atmosphere for service users, staff and visitors.

The reception area features the remaining two murals, each with a distinct message. The first mural contains daily affirmations, serving to boost inspiration and hope.

The final piece pays tribute to Annie Kenney, the famous suffragette the service is named after. “The larger mural in reception was designed by myself in celebration of women and diversity. Knowing that the service was named after Annie Kenney, the idea of celebrating powerful women and promoting a positive message was my aim.” – Alexandra Elstone

Cygnet Kenney House, set to open this Spring, will offer a safe and secure care pathway for women experiencing mental health challenges. The service will offer PICU and Acute wards for rapid access to care, and a High Support Inpatient Rehabilitation Service (Level 2).

We are inviting our NHS colleagues to join the Grand Opening of Cygnet Kenney House on Thursday the 3rd April 2025. Click here for more information or to book your place.
