A BEAUTIFUL quilt made by Sue Farley will be taking pride of place at next month’s charities fair at Haslemere Hall in aid of BLISS premature babies charity.
Haslemere Quilters Group has chosen the town’s Hunter Centre as their charity for 2018, and the quilt will be first prize in a raffle on Thursday, November 8, to help raise funds.
Other prizes are a balloon ride for two, a spa day for two at Lythe Hill Hotel and a session at Chiddingfold Golf Club for two.
The Hunter Centre, based at Marjorie Gray Hall, in Grayswood Road, was established to support those living with dementia in the town and across a wide area into East Hampshire and West Sussex.
The day care facility operates from 10am until 4pm on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Most clients have medium to high needs.
Support is on offer not just for those with one of the various types of dementia, but also for carers helping them to live at home.
On the fourth Tuesday of every month, a carer’s cafe is held at the centre from 10.30am to 12.30pm.

The raffle will be drawn at the last performance of The Grayshott Stagers production, Oh What A Lovely War, which runs from November 15-17.
