Trefoil members from Shaftesbury have been busy knitting comforting items for the bereaved.


Member Diane Traves, whose knitting is pictured, has been making teddies for people who have lost babies and hearts for people who have lost loved ones to covid.

Dorset Trefoil chairman Judy Thompson said: “As members of Girlguiding, our members love to do things in and for the community, so during the first lockdown guilds looked for things they could do while shielding themselves (most of our members, but not all, are retired) and crafted things were the answer. And we have continued throughout the pandemic. Trefoil is part of Girlguiding with the same national/regional/county/indi vidual groups organisation.”

Trefoil is a part of Girlguiding UK. Its members usually meet at Bell Street United Church Hall on the second Tuesday of the month from 7pm till 9pm. Shaftesbury chairman Margaret Kent can be reached on 01258 268738 or signalbox3@talktalk.net.
