Thank you from Lincolnshire police

Some of our knitters have knitted the Teddy Bears for children after an appeal by Lincolnshire police.

Janet received a thank you letter and the Police force mentioned that their request for 500 bears has far exceeded its target. They have 5100 so far!

We knit & natter all in a good cause.

The ladies of North Luffenham have not been idle over the winter months.

Instead we have being busy knitting ‘Angel bears’ which are used by Lincolnshire Police to console children involved in road traffic accidents or similar traumatic situations.

A total of over thirty bears have been knitted with loving care so far.

If anyone is interested in joining the group or having a go at knitting one at home, please contact us through the website.

Help make Church Kneelers to commemorate WWI Centenary

Leave a reply

As part of commemorating the First World War Centenary, North Luffenham church would like to have some suitable kneelers made.

These tapestry kneelers are a way of remembering the valuable lives and sacrifices made by those people, both on the battlefields and on the home front.

The kneelers are embroidered in simple cross stitch and they can be worked on by various people in turn. Some designs are more complicated than others.

Details can be found on Church Kneelers.

If you are interested to take part, please contact Liliane Coogan, Knit & Natter.

Knit a bear to help Police console children involved in traffic accidents

Leave a reply

Lincolnshire Police are asking residents in the county if they are able to make knitted bears to donate some to them for consoling children.

In the past, if a child is involved in a road traffic collision, they would be given a free knitted bear to help keep them calm in a frightening experience. This then helps police and other emergency services deal with the accident.

However, the charity which used to knit and provide the bears — known as Angel Bears — is no longer in existence. This means Lincolnshire Police is running out of bears to give to children for free.

Police HQ is asking any knitting clubs or individuals in the county that would be willing to become part of their volunteer base to knit an annual supply of 500 bears to get in touch.

The force need enough for the next intake, required around September 2014. Bears need to be stuffed and knitted to a set pattern.

Liliane Coogan has the patterns for these teddy bears. Come along on a Thursday evening at the Fox and Hounds at 7.30pm and you can have a copy of the knitting patterns.
