A litter-picking project involving patients at a mental health hospital in Swansea has been highly successful. The Gwelfor occupational therapy team in Cefn Coed Hospital, Swansea was the winner of the Resilient Wales Award category at the 2024 NHS Wales Sustainability Awards. This was for its project to promote patients’ well-being by taking them into green spaces, allowing them to get active and connect with others. The team, which is based in a high relational support rehabilitation unit that provides mental health care to men, also uses the scheme to educate patients of the importance of caring for the environment.
