Brenda Lincoln looking at the donated quilts.Brenda Lincoln came to the shop on sat 26th Marcxh to collect the Quilts for Injured Servicemen that have been donated. Brenda takes the quilts to Headley Court Rehabilitation Centre and other support centres for Injured Service people. Many of these young men have lost two or more limbs as they served in Afghanistan. The aim is to try and give these chaps a quilt, they are all keen to get fit and get back to work so the quilts are functional items that get squashed into kit bags as soon as replacement limbs ahve been fitted and they are back to fitness.
Brenda fell into this work by acciedent and now spends much of her time voluntarily collecting, making and delivering quilts. She has my complete admiration. A huge thank you must go to all those people who made the quilts, their time and effort is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Here are all the quilts donated this week - 56 in all - Fantastic!
