A charitable service based in Yorkshire which appeals for knitted toys, worry monsters, and hand puppets. Knit for Nowt have kindly donated some of these for us to use in school - much appreciated, they're really lovely. Thank you also to some of our children who volunteered to pose with these!
These beautiful quilts have been kindly gifted to us by Project Linus UK, which is a volunteer organisation. They provide new, homemade patchwork quilts and knitted blankets to babies, children and teenagers who may be going through a difficult time or suffering from illness. Their volunteer Area Co-ordinators and Assistants deliver around 3,500 blankets or quilts to sick, disabled and disadvantaged children every month, providing them with a sense of comfort and security.
Mrs Daynes contacted our local Co-ordinator, Mary Ann Caranza, who (despite having recently retired) very kindly offered to make us not one, but two quilts! What an amazing lady and an incredibly kind gesture! The quilts are going to be used in the Cosy Corner in the Hut, and will provide a lovely sense of warmth and comfort to those children who need support with emotional issues.
