Wrapped up with love

07/05/2021

Lucy Williams

IT’S time once again to thank Pickering Transport for taking our wraps free of charge to their depot in Sydney for the “Wraps with Love” project.

They have been doing this for us for over 20 years.

The warm rugs are much appreciated and are delivered to cold humanity in Australia and third world countries wherein they see a need.

Thank you also to our wonderful band of knitters and crocheters who work continually for this worthy cause.

We are most grateful to you all.

Barbara Patterson and Helen Dean, Coordinators
