Crafty support from community
The Crafty Bees, a creative group meeting each Thursday at Boxes of Hope in Holbeach, have been brightening lives with their handmade projects—from superhero-themed bags, sweatshirts, T-shirts, and teddies for children undergoing chemotherapy to sensory sleeves for care homes, dolls for dementia patients, and teddy bears for children entering refuge—all lovingly crafted and donated to those in need. They've even designed lighthearted yet practical "willy warmers" (dubbed MAPs, or Military Appendage Protection) for Ukrainian soldiers enduring cold conditions, adding both warmth and a touch of humor to their support efforts
