Over 200 Twiddlemuffs

For people living with Dementia


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.
