Paradise for Knitters

Due to popular demand, Resthaven Paradise & Eastern Community Services has held their first ‘Spinning Yarns’ social group session. Therapy Assistant and group facilitator, Nicola Grose, says "Our clients love their knitting, and our weekly ‘Clicking Needles’ group has progressively outgrown itself."

"In response to client requests, we decided to open up a second knitting group option, and we think this one will be just as popular."

To help facilitate the new group, a Resthaven volunteer has offered her assistance.

"Vy [Thuy Nguyen] has recently joined our site community as a volunteer, and she was thrilled to offer her time to our new group."

"We are incredibly grateful to Vy, and all volunteers who offer their time. It really helps our team give more personalised experiences to clients—it makes all the difference."

After a successful first session, the Spinning Yarns group are already planning future projects.

"There has been a discussion amongst the group about knitting blankets to gift to the homeless for Christmas—an initiative that is important to all of us here at Resthaven, especially for the festive season."

"The group are ready for the challenge to see how many boxes they can fill!"
