We are very grateful to the Trewoon Yarn Bombers who have very kindly knitted and donated 'trauma' teddies for our learners.  We will be donating these beautifully knitted toys to learners who need them.  Our staff will be nominating learners who are recovering from an operation or a significant life event, to receive a toy.  We hope these lovely toys can place a smile back on a child's face, as they certainly have with us!  Thank you very much.

 

ABOUT TREWOON 'YARN BOMBERS' AND HOW TO GET INVOLVED

Trewoon Yarn Bombers have just celebrated their 3^rdanniversary by handing out nearly 200 Fish and Chip Baby Jumpers and Trauma Teddies to deserving causes.

'We were particularly pleased to supply Doubletrees School with Teddies as they are such a deserving and much needed local environment for our special children. We will be passing on more Teddies when they are available'

Our Chair, Jennifer was delighted when ‘Bomber’ Heather mentioned her daughter, Andrea worked at Doubletrees School and would be pleased to receive some Trauma Teddies for their children. One of Jennifer’s granddaughters has special educational needs and currently attends Pencalenick School in Truro. She was aware of the very important work that goes on at Doubletrees.

Andrea Hector gave a very interesting and informative presentation, at our 3^rd Anniversary event, on the work that goes on in this special school. Bombers are hoping we will see Andrea again in the future.

In addition to our much needed charity work, we enjoy making serious and fun displays around the Parish. You may have seen some decorating letterboxes, fencing, seats and virtually anything that can be decorated.

We meet once a month to discuss what projects we are working on and what we plan to create in the future.

In addition to our ‘Bombers’ we also host two knit and natter sessions on the 2^nd Thursday of the month.  You can attend the 2-4pm or the 6-8pm session. Some members attend both! They are advertised under our ‘Chit, Chat, Knit and That’ group name.

Both groups are friendship and wellbeing groups who encourage people who like to knit, crochet, cross-stitch, sew, embroider, lace make or enjoy any other craft. Some are very experienced and some are now learning, everyone is welcome. We also welcome people who would like to come and chat and join us for refreshments. 

A few times a year we go to events, especially at Christmas time. This year some members went to the craft fayre at Exeter via Roselyn Coaches and had a lovely day.

You may have seen our Tombola stall at this year’s Sticker Rally. We thoroughly enjoyed the weekend and were made very welcome.

We have another one booked for the Christmas Fayre at Trewoon Village Hall in November. This is when we raise funds to buy yarns etc and hire venues. 

If you would like to join us, you will be made very welcome. Generally, we meet at either Trinity Chapel in Trewoon or Trewoon Village. However, we are enthusiastic about meeting at different venues within the Parish.

For further details we have a Facebook page. It is a very enjoyable and inexpensive way of making friends and sometimes learning new crafts.

Very best wishes from Trewoon Yarn Bombers and Chit, Chat, Knit and That members.
