We also take commissions so if you want
a card made for a special occasion or birthday
we can make it for you.
Just contact me ceri160443@sky.com
to discuss your requirements or pop in to
our coffee mornings on 3rd Saturday of
each month at The Methodist Church
where you will see the quality of our goods.
"Bills Boxes"
As you may already know, Bill who is one of our volunteers decided to make bird boxes to raise money for the hospital and throughout 2018 he made in excess of £1000.00 from the sale of these boxes.
Crafty Comforts is a gift shop in Burnham high street and they agreed to be a supporter of the hospital by selling the bird boxes with all proceeds to the hospital.
These boxes make ideal presents and are a great solution to the question “what do you buy someone who doesn’t need anything?"
Bill will take commissions if you want one personalised
For 2019 Bill is now
branching out and is
making wooden key
rings and wooden gift tags
which really are quite unique.
These will be on sale at our
coffee mornings every 3rd Saturday
in the Methodist Church
from 10am till 12 noon.
