Craft Group: The Craft Group meets fortnightly, with upcoming sessions scheduled for February 5th and 19th at 10:30 am. Recently, the group donated 16 beautifully knitted blankets to the Children’s Ark Playroom at University Hospital Limerick. These blankets, created in 2014, will help keep children warm after chemotherapy treatments. The hospital’s management was delighted with the vibrant colours and deeply appreciated the thoughtful gesture on behalf of the children. The group aims to create more blankets in 2025. If you would like to contribute or learn new crafts, please join us. It’s a great opportunity to make friends, enjoy a chat, and share a cup of tea in a welcoming atmosphere.
