Up, and out early, delivering some Twiddle Muffs to a couple of care homes. The Twiddle Muffs, crafted by Mary Bell and sponsored by Rotary Newton Aycliffe, have proven to bring a great deal of comfort to Dementia sufferers.
Redworth House in Shildon got in touch and we were able to call in to speak to the staff, and some of the residents were more than happy to have their photograph taken as they got to choose their own Twiddle Muffs. The staff showed their appreciation and thanks by making a donation towards the costs of crafting a future stock of Twiddle Muffs.
St Clare’s Court, on Central Avenue, has received donations of Twiddle Muffs from Rotary Newton Aycliffe in the past, so it was good to reconnect with the staff and leave a number of Twiddle Muffs for some of their residents.
