Exciting news from Woolly Hugs!

Exciting news!

We are feeling rather giddy and overwhelmed (more so than usual!)

After a rather lengthy, time consuming and frankly complicated process, we are rather chuffed to say that Woolly Hugs is now a Registered Charity!

This allows us to continue with the many varied projects currently undertaken and hopefully add new ones; all aiming to give comfort to those that need it.

Thank you so much for the support you have given us.

You have helped us make a difference

I was so chuffed when I read this yesterday. Woolley Hugs is such a wonderful group, and getting charitable status is completely amazing for you.

Was a lot of paperwork as we didn't fit any classic template. Liked that though!

We are so thrilled for everyone because of the recognition, that means the world. Really does.

It also means we will be able to sustain projects though (hopefully) easier fundraising. The number of donations we have been offered but then lost because we didn't have this magic charity number are depressing!
