Gifts of Comfort
Alongside fundraising, we also share handmade items with our patients and their families:
Worry Worms

Our Ted

Hearts

Flowers for Our Community Wall
In our café, we have a Community Flower Wall, where crocheted, knitted, paper, and any other material you can think of, flowers bloom all year round. These colourful creations brighten the space, offering a place of reflection, remembrance, and community spirit.
