Delivery: Gillian hands over to Ella
Having previously made heart shaped cushions for breast cancer patients in Cheltenham and Southmead hospitals in 2021-22 we were approached by the 'Focus Centre' (the patient support centre in the Cheltenham Oncology department,)in August 2023 to see if we could possibly make more as patients found them both comfortable when placed under the arm and comforting that someone had bothered to make them.
Rotarian Gillian Hayward asked sewing friends, the local WI and Inner Wheel groups and also for donations of duvet covers for re-purposing. 'Many hands make light work' and having started with a modest target of 50, the number just kept on growing and in the end we have delivered 150, which will meet the need well in to spring 2024, and all at no cost to the club.
