The Gisborne Presbyterian Craft Group has created 140 quilts to be donated to the Royal Children's Hospital through the Very Snuggly Quilts program. This program gifts between 150 and 180 quilts each month to children
at the hospital. On discharge the children keep the quilts and take them home. These become treasured items for the children and their families and in many instances their quilt is the first thing that is packed if a child needs
to be readmitted to hospital. The Gisborne Craft Group set a target this year of 100 quilts and were thrilled to exceed that number and be able to hand over 140 quilts, an outstanding effort.
