Our latest project
The Commons is a co-designed community garden space at Midland Metropolitan University Hospital.

Spectra is grateful for the funding from Severn Trent Community Trust and our partners Your City and Metropolitan Hospitals Charity, core funding from Arts Council England, and support from Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust to make The Commons possible.
