Thanks to your support it’s been full steam ahead for our exciting BizzyBox Lending Project over the summer!
We now have 125 carers registered on the lending library, and to date we have had nearly 200 product loans, with carers able to borrow for free a fantastic range of activity products that they can enjoy from the comfort of their own home together with their loved one!
We have continued with the busy programme of coffee morning ‘Try-out’ events, with up to 6 events a month!
So far, we have had over 375 carer attendances at coffee mornings.
At the Church Street Library coffee morning, carer Elena has started a knitting and crochet group with fellow carers!
Here the carers enjoy catching up together while knitting toys, scarves, and socks.
They will be selling these at Christmas Fairs to help raise more funds to support the project so we can reach even more unpaid carers!
Your continued generosity has helped us to expand this project so that even more carers can take advantage of the products and enjoy them with their loved ones at home – while also being able to meet, socialise and have fun with fellow carers at the project coffee mornings and events.
Thank you!
