A group of friends from a care home who have been making knitted gifts for hospital patients and staff got the chance to deliver their work in person.
Avice and her friends from Hickathrift House Care Home in Wisbech have been busy knitting teddy bears and other goodies including scarves and baby hats for more than 15 years for the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King’s Lynn.
They got the chance to visit Rudham Ward at the hospital to personally deliver some of their lovingly crafted gifts to children and staff.
Avice said: “After all these years, and potentially thousands of teddies, I’ve been able to see children’s little faces when they get one of them. It was so nice, thank you all. It made me feel special that all of them came to say thank you. I can’t wait for them to receive my next batch”.
Claire Burrell, Play Specialist at The QEH, said: “We are so grateful to Avice and her friends. Children at the hospital will be so grateful for these. It’s something so simple but it means so much and holds so many memories for the children. It’s very thoughtful and very kind.”
