The Friendship Circle at Cardonald Parish Church in Glasgow took on a project to knit Twiddlemuffs, which help people suffering from dementia.

The small group, not all of whom are knitters, set out with the aim of producing 80 muffs for the nearby Erskine Care Home. However, word spread about the project and, due to support from both Church members and people with no church connection, they ended up in December with 330 muffs.

These have been donated to four local Care Homes: the Erskine Home, the Alzheimer’s Society’s Forget-Me-Not project and two homes run by Crossreach – Williamwood House and Adams House.

The photograph was taken on the day church minister the Rev Calum MacLeod came to bless the muffs before they were donated to the various homes.
