Brighter Beginnings is a local organisation providing essential baby, child, mother and household items for families in hardship, mostly due to an urgent move to the safety of a refuge. Bundles of bedding are very much in demand and a cheerful, colourful quilt, Made With Love, will add a bit of cheer in an otherwise bleak situation. BB would love single bed quilts (36” x 75”) but also welcome hug quilts (40" x 60", or 50" x 72" for an older child) or lap quilts and play mats (52” x 52” is a good size but there are no rules). These quilts are for babies and young children so themed quilts (fairies, dogs, dinosaurs, kittens, etc) would enable us to make the gift of a quilt thoughtful and personal when a referral is received. If you have fabric that would be suitable and would like to donate it to a stash for BB quilts that we can share with members, Bonnie or Jenni Mogridge would be happy to have it.
In addition to the quilts we are donating, in March 2023 we sent £282.50 to BBB collected from ticket sales, donations and selling refreshments.
