Congratulations to the fantastic members of the Craft Club at Pencric, in Penkridge, who have been fundraising to support Birmingham Children’s Hospital.  

The crafty neighbours wanted to do what they could after the hospital helped the grandson of one of the residents. Through the sale of beautiful handmade cards and gifts they have manged to raise an impressive £360 for this great cause.  

Talented residents in other retirement living communities have also been doing their bit to help others with cake sales, summer fairs and more. At Corsers Court in Perton, the volunteer-run Knit & Natter group has been making toys for children in need in this country and abroad as well as raising money for charity through their knitting.
