MAN KNIFED IN YET ANOTHER STREET ATTACK
Quilters get creative for unique hospice donation KINDHEARTED members of Waterloo Quilters have been busy creating syringe driver bags commonly used by terminally ill patients. The group used their skills to make the items, which are used to provide a colourful method of holding syringe drivers, which will now be donated to Woodlands Hospice and Sefton Women's and Children's Aid. An event was held at St Helen's Church on Friday, May 11 and Saturday, May 12 when the group were able
to show off their creations. A syringe driver is a small portable battery-powered machine, about the size of a pencil case, which administers a continuous dose of painkiller or other medication. They are commonly used by terminally ill cancer patients. Making a brightly coloured washable bag to hold the driver is a great way to allow patients to move about easier and to cover the clinical-looking drivers with cheerful fabric.
