The Cimla Crochet and Knitting Group have a track record of brightening up post boxes with clever toppers created with yarn and lots of care and attention, and their latest collection was a tribute to the Armed Forces.
Construction firm Joyner Group donated £250 for materials for the group via the Community Benefits arrangement the company has with social landlord Tai Tarian who has recently signed an Armed Forces Covenant.
Chief Executive Linda Whittaker explained what this meant:
“As an Armed Forces-friendly organisation Tai Tarian will support those people who want to make a home in the Borough after a period in the services, or even whilst their loved one is on deployment, signposting support when or if it is needed.
“We will also have a positive approach to the employment of veterans, recognising the range of skills they have in our recruitment process.”
The Cimla knitters and crochet group worked their magic in time for Armistice and Remembrance, with cute, knitted Army, Naval and RAF figures, and even a regiment mascot.
