Congratulations to the North Sefton School nurses who completed the world’s fastest zip line on 20 July 2025, and raised over £1000 for Elsie’s story, Bebe’s Hive and Alice WonderDance in memory of the tragic Southport incident last year

Thank you to all who were involved in our garden volunteering day last week at Willow House!

DT Hughes, sub-contracting for Scottish Power, are carrying out electrical cabling works on Queens Drive and Thomas Drive in Liverpool (close to the end of the M62). This involves lane closures and traffic controls outside Broadgreen Hospital which includes our Broadoak Unit. These extensive works began this week and are expected to be completed by Wednesday 5 November. During this period, travel disruption in the surrounding area of the hospital site is inevitable with delays and queuing traffic anticipated.

This summer’s Showcase event at Ashworth Hospital celebrated patient creativity through music, poetry, visual arts and performance, offering powerful insight into lived experience and recovery. From grunge guitar solos to heartfelt poems and vibrant tie-dye creations, each moment highlighted the therapeutic impact of creative expression in secure mental health settings.

Over the past year, The Life Rooms Secure team at Ashworth Hospital has delivered more than 28,000 sessions supporting patient wellbeing through creative, therapeutic activities. From daily art and music groups to colourful tie-dye workshops and powerful performance showcases, the service is helping patients build confidence and connection.
