Hand make blankets for kids in care …
A community project to wrap children in warmth, comfort, and care -
Calling all knitters, crocheters, makers, and kind-hearted neighbours!
Join us as we again make more cosy handmade blankets for children and young people in care. This Local Therapeutic Social Work Team promote the emotional well-being of children and their carers to help address the effects of abuse, trauma, and neglect. They would like each child to be given their own comfort blanket to keep, so they can have it with them to provide a warm hug in times of need. Every blanket made is a small but meaningful reminder that someone in the community is thinking of them.
How you can help
• Make a small blanket — knit or crochet
Size to be about 100 – 150 cm
Any stitch or pattern (not too lacey or open in texture)
Bright bold fun colours are best
Please aim to complete your blankets and bring them here in November
Let’s come together to help put smiles on faces
Come along to our craft and chat, club or group sessions to get involved.
