Community Projects
We want to involve ourselves in the community and help in what ever way we can.
To this end we are always looking for suggestions from our members and welcome any input.

For 2021 we are adopting Juno Annimal charity;-
This is charity that supports women that need to find a place of safety for themselves and often their children. Normally this means thay have to leave loved family pets (of all sorts) behind. This charity looks after them until the women are in situations where they can take them back.
They are looking for such things as;- Pet food, people to actually foster pets, pet toys ... more information to follow.

In our first two years we adopted the following local charities;-
- a local care home has been approached and they would be happy to have any twiddle muffs/mats we make for them.
- Arnold Food Bank, donations will be taken at the every meeting and taken to the food bank.

Twiddle Muffs
They are a double-thick knitted muff with items attached so that a patient with dementia can twiddle with them in their hands. It might sound funny, but they can actually be a godsend for anxious patients, helping to quieten their mind and provide comfort and distraction.
People with dementia can often have restless hands, so these can really help.
