Blankets of Animals is a small charity set up by animal lover Sam English. With the help of local residents who have been making a steady stream of six and 12 inch knitted and crocheted squares which in turn go to Sam who makes them into blankets. Sam then posts to animal shelters on the Island and across the UK. Sam also collects knitted dog coats and fully made blankets and she would like to give a big shout out to all readers to see if anyone is interested in knitting squares, making the final blankets or helping with posting the packages. For more information call Sam on 07834 780644 or via the Facebook page ‘Blankets of Animals’.
