Thousands flee their homes due to tortures from brutal regimes, Redress Hub treats refugees entering the UK, focusing on healing mental trauma through various therapies including Art, Music, Counselling & Horticulture.

The site, a disused underground reservoir in Bradford was resurrected to house the refugees, expressing the symbol of freedom through the narrative of a birds nest and reintroducing water & vegetation to form a calm and soothing environment.
