Summarised from Belfast Live's report · Updated 25 Oct, 12:07 · Archive

A crochet club started by a funeral director has been bringing people together for a decade.

Belfast Live reports that the Dunmurry Crochet Club, started by funeral director Terry Weir at James Brown & Sons Funeral Home, is celebrating ten years of operation. The group meets twice a month at the funeral home for members to crochet, learn new skills, share experiences and build friendships.

To mark the anniversary, club members donated ten handmade 'twiddle muffs' to Meadowlands 2 at Musgrave Park Hospital. The colourful knitted and crocheted muffs feature different textures and attachments designed to provide comfort and sensory stimulation for people living with dementia and other cognitive conditions. Weir, who has worked at the funeral home for 21 years, said the club has 'created friendships, offered support and made a positive difference to people'. James Brown & Sons contributed towards a special anniversary dinner attended by 16 members.
