At The Myton Hospices, we know that hospice care is an important part of our community. That’s why we are proud to officially unveil a new mural in Warwick, designed to raise awareness of hospice care and highlight the support local people and businesses give to Myton.
The mural, located at Spinney Hill Fish Bar, has been created by local artist Tim Robottom, who generously donated his time and talent. Tim wanted to give something back to Myton and create a piece of street art for the local community. It serves as a lasting reminder of the importance of hospice care in the area and the collective support that enables us to continue caring for people living with life-limiting illnesses and their families.
This project has been a true community collaboration from start to finish. Arun Matoo from Spinney Hill Fish Bar generously provided the wall, creating a prominent space to help raise awareness of hospice care. Charlie Kennel from Kenilworth Brick Repairs also donated his expertise, restoring the wall and preparing it for the artwork.
Arun Matoo, owner of Spinney Hill Fish Bar, said:
I am delighted to support this community mural by offering the wall of our shop as the canvas for such a meaningful piece of artwork. As a local business owner, being able to contribute to a project that celebrates and raises awareness of our local hospice is something we’re incredibly proud of.
The hospice provides outstanding care and support to individuals and families during some of life’s most difficult times, and this mural is a wonderful way to recognise the incredible work they do every day.
We hope the finished artwork not only brightens the area but also serves as a lasting reminder of the hospice’s role in our community, encouraging people to continue supporting The Myton Hospices. I’m proud that my shop can play a part in creating something that will be enjoyed by residents and visitors for many years to come.
Ruth Freeman, Chief Executive of The Myton Hospices, said:
This mural is a powerful example of what can be achieved when a community comes together with a shared purpose. We are incredibly grateful to Tim, Charlie and Arun for donating their time, skills and space to make this possible. Their generosity will help raise awareness of hospice care, spark important conversations and remind people of the compassionate support Myton provides to patients and their families across our community.
We hope the mural encourages people to stop, reflect and learn more about hospice care. Every act of support, whether that's fundraising, volunteering, donating or simply helping raise awareness, makes a real difference and helps ensure we're here for people who need us, now and in the future.
We would encourage everyone to visit the mural, take a moment to reflect on its message and support Myton in whatever way you can. Together, with the support of our community, we can continue making a difference for families across Coventry and Warwickshire.
