Charity quilt presentation

As a result of our 2025 group project we were able to present two lovely 48” square quilts to the representative of our charity for the year, Age Concern New Forest.

On 12th October we welcomed Carol Marley, the charity’s Information and Advice Coordinator, to our meeting where she was given the quilts, plus a wall hanging donated by Anne Wellington one of our members.

Carol was very pleased to receive the quilts, thanking us and saying the charity will look into the best way of using them to raise funds and ‘to do justice to the time and effort the group have put in to producing the works of art’.

Age Concern New Forest is an independent local charity providing support for older people 55+ years, their families and carers in the New Forest.

For 25 years, Age Concern New Forest has provided a range of services, from information and advice, ear and foot care, lunch clubs and more!

The charity receives no government funding and raises its income through its charity shops, contribution payments for some of its charitable activities, donations, legacies, grants and other fundraising.

More information about them can be found on their website: www.ageconcernnewforest.org.uk.
