BBC News, West Midlands<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Two artists have worked with children and users of a wellbeing and cancer support centre to create new murals in a Staffordshire town. <\/p>\n Local artists Kate O and Wingy worked with pupils from Two Rivers School, which provides special education, and Tamworth Wellbeing and Cancer Support Centre. <\/p>\n New Urban Era (Nue), which organised the projects as part of its outreach programme, said the initiatives had fostered “creativity, connection, and a sense of accomplishment among participants”. <\/p>\n The murals were painted on walls at the two sites where they are now being displayed. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n Art group Nue said it consulted with Two Rivers School’s deputy head, as well as the manager of the cancer support centre, at the start of the projects. <\/p>\n “These crucial discussions ensured that the projects were tailored to the unique needs and abilities of the users, artists and locations, maximizing their impact,” Nue said. <\/p>\n The artists guided participants through the mural creation process, which began with “get to know you sessions” exploring individual abilities and the principles of mural work. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n Two Rivers School saw a core group of 12 pupils complete the project, “resulting in several inspiring murals now adorning their space”, Nue said. <\/p>\n And a group of 15 users who attend the wellbeing centre off Crowden Road made a a “beautiful and meaningful” final mural, it added. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n “We are incredibly proud of the profound impact this programme has had on the participants and the communities of Tamworth,” said Nue founder Vic Brown.<\/p>\n “By bringing art and collaboration directly to these vital venues, we’ve not only created stunning visual pieces but also fostered an environment of healing, self-expression and connection. <\/p>\n “The dedication of the artists and the enthusiastic participation of the users have made this initiative a truly remarkable success.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Both artists, Kate O and Wingy, successfully completed an NVQ Level 2 counselling course as part of the programme, to support their professional development in working within the health sector. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n![\"Nue](\"https:\/\/ichef.bbci.co.uk\/news\/480\/cpsprodpb\/41f8\/live\/fbbc6120-6edd-11f0-acb4-c965e62f8963.jpg.webp\")
