Gift Of Life Mosaic unveiled at Colchester University Hospital

6 metre long mosaic commissioned by the Organ donor committee is a thank you to donor families.

Based on the Essex coastline with its rivers and estuaries, The Gift of Life is made from fragments from hundreds of items of crockery as well as jewellery, buttons and beach glass donated by staff, donor families and recipients and people from all over north east Essex. Embedded into the mosaic is a poem by Martin Newell - a thank you to all donor families for their act of altruism and kindness.

Registering to become a donor takes around 3 minutes and can save and transform many lives.
