CW+ Studio

We built the CW+ Studio at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital as a bespoke multi-functional space. It hosts a wide range of creative health activities led by performing and visual artists, clinicians and community partners.

Situated on Level 2 at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, the CW+ Studio acts as a base for our award-winning Arts for All programme, accessible to the wider hospital community.

Our ambition is to offer the best care during a hospital admission, and to support people to stay well in their communities once discharged, by promoting healthy aging and encouraging social engagement.

What a fascinating, fun and inspiring time I had with the Arts for All team. It has confirmed my belief in the power of dance to achieve all-round fitness and health – of mind and body – whatever your age

How we use CW+ Studio

The space is used for:

  • non-ward-based sessions of the Arts for All programme
  • rehabilitation sessions with therapy teams
  • community outreach
  • support groups for carers with clinical and community partners
  • clinical sessions by art therapists
  • staff wellbeing

As well as our talented Arts for All artists, we work with a variety of partners. Recent sessions have included: 

Age UK American Line Dancing, which brings elderly people from the community together to stay fit, age well and make friends. 

Art Therapy for paediatric inpatients, getting children and young people out of the wards for complementary therapeutic interventions. 

English National Ballet School and Kobler Rehabilitation Class, providing mobility and strength exercises for patients living with HIV. 

Chelsea Football Club and the Trust’s TransPlus wellbeing team offering lifestyle support to people from the transgender community.

It brought me alive! I was ecstatic. It made me forget how old I am
