Aurora Centre
Artist Katherine Milns works with JCI to help renovate the Aurora Centre at Doncaster Royal Infirmary.
The Aurora Centre provides self-esteem boosting beauty treatments for men and women who are undergoing chemo and radiotherapy. The centre is run by volunteers and was set up by a lady who went through treatment and felt that this would provide a much needed service. After the new centre was opened at the Montague Hospital, Mexborough, it was decided that the one at the DRI was in need of a refurb. This would hopefully make the room less clinical for patients and help them to relax during treatment. The JCI Doncaster came to the rescue with their Changing Rooms project and offered to revamp the Aurora Centre. See the Free Press article
Katherine got involved through a friend at the JCI and offered some Interior Design advice. She did some photography for the project and helped to decorate the centre.
