Help Helderberg Hospice by crocheting or knitting granny squares for hospice and palliative care patients

Here's a little more info about this opportunity...

Help Us Unofficially Exceed a World Record and Create Comfort for Hospice Patients Squares for Care is a community driven campaign inviting people across the Helderberg and beyond to help us unofficially break a world record while creating warmth, dignity, and comfort for hospice patients. Our goal is to unofficially exceed the current world record of 100,581 crafted granny squares and turn every square into a blanket that supports patients receiving palliative care through Helderberg Hospice. This campaign forms part of our 40 Years of Quality Care celebrations and runs from World Cancer Day to Mandela Day. Many hospice patients face illness alongside cold homes, limited resources, and emotional strain. A handmade blanket is more than warmth. It is comfort, dignity, and a reminder that someone cares. By participating, you are helping Helderberg Hospice to: Provide practical comfort to patients in home based care Engage the community in meaningful acts of service Raise awareness of palliative care and its role in quality of life Celebrate 40 years of compassionate care in the Helderberg How You Can Take Part You can support Squares for Care in several ways.
