GreenUP Activity Programme Relaunched at West Mid
Aims to boost health and wellbeing through nature, creativity, and movement
The activity programme seeks to offer something for everyone
May 13, 2025
A new free activity programme open to all is being relaunched at West Middlesex University Hospital.
CW+, the official charity of the hospital trust, is running GreenUP, a series of free activities designed to connect patients, staff, visitors, and the local community with the nature, creativity and movement.
Running until November, the GreenUP activity programme aims to offer something for everyone, from green learning sessions to mosaic and art workshops, yoga, Zumba, Salsa, and mindful journalling. These sessions are delivered in partnership with organisations including Kew Royal Botanic Gardens, Turner’s House, and The Arts Centre Hounslow.
Emily Thomas, Arts Manager at West Middlesex University Hospital, said, ‘We’re excited to relaunch the GreenUP activity programme and invite everyone from across the community to get involved. Whether you’re looking to learn something new, get creative, boost your fitness, or simply relax and recharge in nature, GreenUP has a session for you. We can’t wait for you to experience the incredible wellbeing benefits this programme offers – come and be part of something special! ’
To mark the relaunch, CW+ joined forces with NHS Forest to host a series of tree-planting events.
Thanks to a grant from the Greener Communities Fund, a partnership between NHS Charities Together (NHSCT) and environmental charity Hubbub , supported by Starbucks, GreenUP has transformed an underused lakeside area at the hospital into an outdoor hub with new planting, better pathways, and a dedicated space for workshops and events.

We've always done that and won't be changing, in fact we'd like to do more. However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them. Our financial resources are limited and the local media environment is intensely competitive so there is a constraint on what we can do. We are therefore asking our readers to consider offering financial support to these efforts.

One-off donations are also appreciated. Choose The Amount You Wish To Contribute.
