Two lovely ladies from a nursing home in Prestwick, recently took part in the Dementia Awareness Community Knitting project, which was launched by Dementia Friendly Prestwick.

Janet Cross and Chris Traill were knitting up a storm at Queen’s Nursing Home.

Chris Traill is an activities coordinator at the nursing home and Janet Cross is a resident living there. Both ladies did a fantastic job with their knitting project and were helping to raise awareness of dementia in the process.

Please consider supporting the Ayr Advertiser in whatever way you can – by paying just 90p for a copy of the paper, when you're shopping for essential supplies for yourself and others, or by subscribing to our e-edition here.
