With 2020 well and truly under way, the Broadstone Methodist Knit and Natter Group have been looking at the projects we make. With this in mind we have set ourselves a new challenge and for this we need your help! We are looking for new groups and charities to knit for. We would be able to supply all the materials and obviously the finished projects, and just need your ideas of who would benefit from our items. We can make anything from toys and clothes to blankets. So if you know of any group or charity that could make use of our service please contact Terry Millard at Broadstone Methodist Church.See full story...

As I walked along the water’s edge at Sandbanks, I watched a young child paddling up to her knees. As a larger wave came in, she trustingly put her small hand up into the hand of her father, who was carefully paddling beside her. Although only a toddler, she instinctively knew that she would be safe if she could just hold his hand.See full story...
