Carnforth Rotary Secretary, Linda, has knitted over 200 Twiddlemuffs, most of which have been donated to Royal Lancaster Infirmary for people living with Dementia.
They act as a calming measure to reduce the trauma of being in hospital which can often be frightening and bewildering for people affected by dementia.
