A group of volunteer needleworkers created and donated homemade quilts to a local children's hospice.

Project Linus, based across the UK, recently handed several of these quilts over to Children's Hospice South West (CHSW).

Young patients using the hospice are allowed to take the colourful quilts home with them.

Members from the Bath, Wells and surrounding areas Linus Group were present at the hospice, personally delivering the quilts to dedicated staff.

The group's co-ordinator, Linda McGregor, said: "The aim of the quilts is to bring comfort and cheer to babies, children and children needing a hug.

"All the quilts and blankets are homemade and unique."

De Colle from Charlton Farm’s care team, where the quilts are being used, spoke on the impact of the donation: "The children and their families really appreciate these lovely quilts - they really brighten up the hospice."

Charlton Farm provides support to almost 200 local children and young people living with life-limiting or life-threatening illnesses, and has done so since it opened in 2007.
