Create for Creatures – Creating Kindness for Animals in Need!

Create for Creatures Fundraising Bookmarks

During winter, we were fortunate to be contacted by ‘Create for Creatures’. The group enquired as to whether we may need items to keep our residents warm? The answer was a definite ‘yes!’ With lambing season in full swing and the heavy winter rains making drying clothing and blankets difficult, we were overjoyed to receive their message.

Alice Making Measurements

Alice from Create for Creatures came to the Sanctuary and met with some of the babies who would benefit from their cosy jumpers and jackets. She carefully recorded the animals' measurements and noted tips on designs that were lamb friendly.

The lambs certainly enjoyed the attention. The roundness of their little tummies meant that the girth of the jumpers may need some extra inches!

The team worked for a number of weeks on these and other beautiful items to help the Sanctuary. Padded pouches and bags for possums, jackets, jumpers and fundraising bookmarks and cushions were all carefully crafted and donated.

We are so appreciative of the hours and skills donated by these kind crafters – as are our little residents who are snug and cosy on cool Valley evenings thanks to their efforts.
