Crafty Uniforms
The Crafty Uniforms team frequently welcomes an assistance Guide Dog in to their shop who does a wonderful job of supporting one of the team members. If you see him out in public wearing his harness, please remember don’t speak to him or stroke him as he’s busy being a hero. We’re sure you will agree he’s doing a fantastic job!
The wonderful team at crafty have been wrapping up their prizes with their amazing hand crafted wrapping paper, ready for the Lucky Dip at Heritage Day. There will be lots of surprises to be won on the day; we hope to see you all there. Everyone is welcome!
We are asking for kind donations of unopened unwanted gifts, chocolate or wine etc. Please leave any donations with reception at Lisieux Hall, Thingwall Hall, at our Greater Manchester office or with the team at Crafty Uniforms. All donations are greatly appreciated!
The Crafty team visited the ‘Chorley in Bloom’ shop on market walk last week. We took to a trip to gain some inspiration for future crafting ideas and we were certainly not disappointed! The work that was done was absolutely amazing, and we left with some fabulous ideas.
Remember, you can purchase all pre-loved wool and knitting equipment from our shop. We are open Monday to Friday 9am to 4pm.
Good luck to the Crafty team who have entered the ‘Chorley in Bloom Bug Competition’ with their amazing buzzy bugs!
