Across the UK and Ireland production of knitted hearts by Mothers' Union is giving hope and spreading love in hospitals, care homes and hospices. Most members are making matching pairs of hearts, the hearts are then given to the patient and their family, so that those receiving support can feel more connected with their relatives, knowing their loved one/family has the other of the pair.
This simple yet meaningful practice is helping residents, patients and their families get through these difficult times.
