We would love to send a huge thank you to our brilliant team of volunteers here at the Bethlem Gallery and wish them a Happy Volunteers' Week !

Our volunteers are a crucial part of the Gallery, whether sharing their knowledge front of house, leading tours, assisting with art workshops or helping out behind the scenes, and whether they've been with us for a colossal 18 years or a matter of months, we simply couldn't function without them.

We're continually bowled over by the dedication, kindness and care they show to our visitors and artists, regardless of what's going on in their own lives, which, frankly, makes them a joy and an inspiration to work with.

Bethlem Museum of the Mind Maudsley Charity South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust Key Changes

28/05/2026

Our latest blog 'Reflective Practice: making space for thinking together' is a summary of a talk on Reflective Practice by Gerard Drennan. We explore what Reflective Practice is, why an arts organisation might need it and what the key elements are that make it work.

Gerard Drennan is a clinical psychologist who has worked alongside Bethlem Gallery for over a decade, holding a reflective practice space for the Bethlem Gallery team. As part of our recent symposium The Art of Practice, he shared some reflections on what it means to hold a Reflective Practice space within an arts organisation in a mental health context.
