Facemasks for the pandemic

During the coronavirus pandemic we made facemasks.  Some were sold to raise funds for the  Fife Law Centre. Others have been given to  Frontline Fife and also Fife Young Carers.  Facemask extenders were knitted and given to several local care homes.

Blankets for Women’s Aid

Twenty-seven hand knitted and crocheted blankets were given to Women’s Aid in Fife for children being supported by them.  Each blanket has an orange label saying ‘This blanket has been specially made for you. We hope it keeps you cosy’.  This is part of the club’s work during the 16 days of activism for the elimination of violence against women.
