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.
