Our first donations have arrived in the children's

Our first donations have arrived in the children's ward, thanks to our amazing teachers 🌟 who have started to make calico dolls and to Nicky, who has made some sensory squares for babies in ICU, worn initially by their patents, so the babies recognise the smell and are comforted.

Thanks to @dryadeducation for their fabric donation.

The nurses send a huge thank-you, 🙏 they were so pleased, and added they were so impressed with the sewing!🪡🧵

Please go to the website if you would like more information on why hospitals use calico dolls or are interested in making some, great for an extracurricular project
