An Edinburgh congregation has been hard at work during the Covid-19 lockdown to produce ‘Reassurance Teddies’ for young children at a local school.

Knitters at Carrick Knowe Parish Church in Edinburgh, including minister, the Rev Fiona Mathieson, have produced 99 teddies so far (some are pictured) at Carrick Knowe Primary School as part of a project to show love for the local community but also provide reassurance for P1 and P2 children as they returned to school in August.
