Therapeutic Bedside Art for Patients in the Renal Dialysis Unit, Tallaght Hospital

Request for funding: Therapeutic Bedside Art for Patients in the Renal Dialysis Unit, Tallaght Hospital

Dear James,

It was lovely to speak with you today and many thanks for confirming over the phone that you will be continuing to fund the diverse arts programme in the Renal Dialysis Unit here at Tallaght Hospital in 2018. We look forward to receiving the funding of €10,000 in the New Year. Please make the cheque payable to The Meath Foundation, who will lodge it directly into the Hospital Arts A/C. It may be sent to the address below for my attention.

The funding will be used to:

⦁ Continue to employ a professional artist, with experience of working with patients, to oversee the dialysis unit art sessions and expand the service by co-ordinating and training a team of art volunteers
⦁ Provide art materials for patients to use in the sessions
⦁ We also offer a training and information day for staff and other artists in the hospital areas using Renal Dialysis unit as a benchmark

Your continued support is much very much appreciated and we will keep you informed of our progress throughout the year. Thank you most sincerely for your assistance with this important project.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have further queries.

Warm regards,

Ali
