The butterflies have been made by groups from across the city including a community group in Hillfields, Coundon Day Care Centre, Coventry’s social prescribing network, Longford baptist church, Coventry
The project, which is part of the In Paint We Trust street art programme, comes on Kindness Day UK.
The butterfly installation at the Coventry University Hub, has been put in place by Creative Kindness, a group that meets up weekly at Coventry’s Memorial Park or Coventry Library to make crafts.
Jo Thatcher from Creative Kindness, said: “It’s been really cool to see the process of the whole installation coming together.
