The chaplaincy team at Bradford Teaching Hospitals has erected a ‘Tree of Hope’ at Bradford Royal Infirmary to urge the city to unite in the wake of the recent atrocities in Manchester and London.
Members of staff and the public are invited to place a heart-shaped token on the tree, which stands in the hospital’s new atrium, to express support for those affected.
People are also being asked to commit to a simple act of friendship or generosity in their community by writing about it on the back of their token.
Chaplaincy staff hope the temporary initiative will help bring Bradford’s diverse communities closer together.
