Having been wreath making in the morning, we launched into blanket giving out after lunchtime. Such a privilege to do this on your behalf.
We did as we’ve done in previous years, we put a selection of blankets out on chairs and the teachers brought them into us in small groups.
They are always a little overwhelmed by the beauty and the generosity of the gifted blankets. Honestly the most enormous thanks for making this happen. Means the world. Some children instantly spot the blanket they love and others will spend a long time choosing, it’s such a delightful process to be part of.
This little lad is just nine and a half years old. And so tired, it’s been a lot. Busy long travel yesterday, full on activities today. Look at him though. Look how he’s really feeling that Woolly Hug. Magic really isn’t it.
Fifty five blankets have their new owners tonight. They are already on beds. Some children are already asleep and tucked up. Some children were saying they had felt cold at night, so our blankets are already in action. Full of love and cosy comfort.
The rest of the blankets will be distributed to several Ukrainian refugee communities in Poland. And that’s a lovely lovely thought. Every blanket will be loved and treasured. Thank you so so much!
