Giving back

Residents reaching out to others

Small acts of kindness, handmade in our village, providing comfort, warmth and dignity to others within the community.

Made with love

From our hands to their hearts

Residents and volunteers participate in a knitting and crochet group as part of the Society’s Occupational Therapy programme.

Together, they create blankets, scarves, beanies, teddy bears and other handmade items which are donated to organisations and individuals in need.

These small acts of kindness provide comfort, warmth and dignity to others within the community.
