Calling all knitters & crafters!
Southampton District Methodist Church has had a direct plea from one of the hospital chaplains for mask extenders.
Recently some mask extenders were taken to a particularly hard-hit ward and they were very well received. This is a plea district-wide to help all our local hospitals. Below is a poster with instructions.
There will be a collection point at the Chandler’s Ford Methodist Church on Winchester Road – in the covered area near the bike racks.
This seems a small but useful way in which we can help frontline NHS workers.
Lakewood Road has been making these for a while. Ours are in the form of a bandana with buttons on. I think we have collected about 300 and, wherever they went, they were well received.
I know from experience how sore your ears can get after a few hours.
Thanks Mike for sharing. We dispatched our last batch of headbands today to hospital in Millbrook. As we continue to make I’ll drop the next batch at the collection point mentioned in the article.
We have had some lovely feedback from the recipients so they are truly appreciated!
I have 12 masks ready and can make headbands as have plenty of fabric, elastic and buttons . Please can you advise if needed and if so where to deliver to ?
Hi Christine,
Many thanks for your message. These can be delivered to Chandler’s Ford Methodist Church, on Winchester Road. You can email them: support@chandlersfordmethodistchurch.org.uk
