I'll echo book in thanking you both for all that you do, I hope you've both had a wonderful day in Bristol.
It's been so lovely to see the pictures of the children, bless them ❤️

We had the most wonderful day with the children and teachers from from Osipovichi and Protasevichi, many of whom we had met before when we were in Belarus in April. They were overwhelmed and LOVED their blankets. It was the most joyous occasion. Beautiful.

Lots of pics for us to collate, these just a taster. Just look forward to tomorrow!

Thank you so much again everyone xxxx

Our beautiful Chernobyl group yesterday in Bristol, so glad we could extend our blanket giving to their wonderful teachers Inessa and Irina too, thank you so much everyone for making this happen. All the extras and ice cream funds too, its just amazing what you do! xxxx

Aberdeen Chernobs!! Just beautiful. Love, love, love! Thank you so much xxx

What a totally fabulous job you have done to sort all these blankets .
They are all great, and love the pictures

We just love this project and having gone to Belarus and met again last year's Chernobs and this year's, made it even more real.

So glad we can do this for them, but of course nothing happens without everyone pulling together and working so hard. We honestly appreciate every single stitch and penny! THANK YOU xxxx

Not one of our groups and I'm not sure if it's the same charity involved but this story just popped up on Facebook about the Staffordshire group visiting the police HQ and meeting the gorgeous puppies that are currently in training.
