Cross Stitch Kits 4 Parkinson's
Calling all cross stitch fans and crafters!
Friend of the practice and cross stitch expert Wendy Bedford has kindly donated around 30 cross stitch kits and a small number of sewing kits which she would like to go to good homes. All are new and unused and most are full kits but a few are patterns only (no materials).
As many of you will know we are raising money for Parkinson's UK (our charity this year). If you would like one or more of the kits we invite you to make a donation to the cause. There are collecting tins at our Beverley and Cottingham surgeries and we are happy to accept Bank Transfers (please message for details).
If you are interested or have any queries, please email or send a text message. Kits will be available to veiw during opening hours at the Cottingham surgery on a first come first served basis. If you are unable to get to the practice we can send you pictures. We do expect they will go quickly so let us know if you are interested.
All enquiries to Robert Wadsworth: rgw@wadsworthosteopaths.co.uk or 0774 771 0317
Trees for Free 2021
This year we have 350 small trees to give away including oak, horse chestnut, ash, elderberry and a few beech, birch, holly, rowan and sycamore. Most of them are 1 year old.
If you have space and would like one or more, please let us know.
The trees are free but please return all pots and crates. We are raising money for Parkinson's UK if you would like to give a donation.
• The best time for planting trees is November to February.
• Make sure they are planted away from buildings / drains etc. Some will grow to be large trees.
• If you have deer or rabbits around they will need protection from a tree guard for the first few years.

TREES FOR FREE
Last year we found homes for over 80 small trees. This year there are 120 oak, horse chestnut, birch, ash and a small number of cherry trees which were all germinated from local seed last winter.
If you have space and want one or more let me know. I have quite a few orders from last year but not all are spoken for.
The trees are free but we are raising money for Parkinson’s this year, if you would like to make a contribution that would be great.
• The best time for planting trees is November through to February.
• Make sure they are planted away from buildings / drains etc. The oak, chestnut and ash will grow to be large trees.
