What Matters To Us

An Exhibition Celebrating Children’s Stories of Health and Wellbeing

25 March - Summer 2026
The ATC Gallery, L2

This exhibition showcases the project Mapping Soham Stories, a creative health project commissioned by the East Cambridgeshire Integrated Neighbourhood team and led by Fullscope with artist Hilary Cox Condron. Working with over 1,100 primary school children in Soham, the project used Fullscope’s CareFull co-design principles to ensure every child’s voice was heard.

Each child created a map and wrote their own 'prescriptions' for wellbeing. Their collective wisdom was distilled into six core principles which have since been shared at the Houses of Parliament and through local exhibitions. We are delighted to display them here at Addenbrooke’s; they will now become a valuable source of material for art commissions and projects for the future Cambridge Children’s Hospital.
