This week Hessle Beavers have completed the final part of their ‘A Million Hands’ project / Community Impact badge with a visit to the The Weir Hotel Residential Care Home.  As part of this project we had a talk from Dementia Friends earlier this year.  We then collect wool, buttons and ribbons which a group from All Saints Church called ‘Crafty Natter’ very kindly knitted into twiddlemuffs for us.  Twiddlemuffs are knitted woolen muffs with items such as ribbons, large buttons or textured fabrics attached that patients with dementia can twiddle in their hands.  People with dementia often have restless hands and like something to keep them occupied.  We walked round to the care home in Hessle and presented them to the residents, who were delighted with their gifts.
