Thanks and Acknowledgements

The Norfolk Knitters & Stitchers hosted a wonderful Maker Fair, showcasing the talents of their incredibly creative members. Among the many fantastic stalls, one that truly stood out was their stunning display of story sacks — beautifully crafted by their knitters for our users at The Hamlet.

These story sacks are more than just handmade creations — they are tools that our staff can use in our story sessions, which will help bring tales to life with colour, texture, and imagination.

A huge thank you to the Norfolk Knitters & Stitchers for their time, skill, and generosity. With over 2,000 members and 100+ groups across Norfolk, their dedication continues to inspire and bring joy to our children and adult users.

We are so grateful for their support, and we can't wait to see how these wonderful creations will spark imagination in our storytelling sessions!' (Hamlet Centre)

A big thank you from Annie at Sensi who has said that the Ted's donated to them will be loved and treasured by the children. Thanks to you all for your support and kindness.

Thank you from Nikki (Nelson's Journey)
'I just wanted to say a huge thank you for the beautiful hearts that I earlier today (Norwich Open Day 20 May). Heather and Margaret were very kind and accommodated me even thought it was obviously very busy. It was also a delight to see the hearts when I got back to the office! Thank you to all who have been so kind in creating these for us.'

'Hi Linda - thank you for being so amazing by being involved in morsbags – whether your organisation makes one morsbag this year or 100, whether your members speak to one person or dozens about what they do, they will have made a positive difference. In 2024 overall 39,194 morsbags were made. Over 19.5 million plastic bags were potentially replaced. So, thank you Norfolk Knitters and Stitchers for your participation.'

We would like to share the wonderful items that some of the Norfolk Knitters and Stitchers group, who meet at St Williams Way Library in Thorpe St Andrew, have recently made for our officers and other emergency agencies to give to children that they meet in challenging and upsetting circumstances.

Unfortunately, not every child's first experience of the police is during a positive school visit where they get to try on uniform or sit in a police car, so having items like this to give to those we meet in the most difficult situations is a small way to reassure them that we are there to help.'

A Big Thank You to Nicola from the
RAF Benevolent Fund
'Members, at the South Norfolk Wool Shed, enjoyed a fun and interesting talk given by Nicola from the RAF Benevolent Fund, who gave us an insight into the work that she does for the Veterans. Sue, who is a volunteer with the RAFBF also told her story of getting involved with the charity. David who himself is a veteran really brought home how much difference it makes to him and the other veterans by the contact, care and involvement given by Nicky, Sue and the other volunteers. Nicky also thanked all the members of NKAS for the knitted RAF scarves they made. They make such a difference to the lives of the veterans, and they wear them with pride.' (Heather)
