The nominations recognise Farrans' use of the arts as a means to develop meaningful connections with the wider community and integrate creativity into the workplace. They have also helped host a series of visual art and creative writing workshops to create displays for the site.

Emma Murphy, Farrans Site Secretary at Altnagelvin, said: "To see how art has brought people with various health afflictions together was really quite special.


"They were able to tell their story through their art and they were given the devices to express themselves through creativity."

The awards will take place in January 2019.
