Twiddle Mats

These are twiddle mats for people living with dementia. All the 3D  twiddle items help to stimulate them and prevent them from picking at their own skin.  

A lovely donation that will be sent to where they are needed.

Recent Donations

Despite the strange times we are currently living through we are still accepting and very grateful for the donations we receive.

We are working closely with our hospitals to ensure the items we send are packed to their specification and regulations.

Thanks to our kind members.

Links to free Crochet Patterns - Blankets

At NHAP we use lots of different patterns.

Here are links to some crochet patterns that could be used to.  Remember though that crochet blankets to go to babies shouldn't have holes in that could catch fingers.
We also collect blankets to be used in old people's homes.
