A community group has handmade items to help people with dementia.
Age Concern Hampshire received dementia-friendly props from Oakley Stitchers CIC, including Twiddle Muffs, lap blankets and fidget toys.
These items are designed to assist the charity's Hospital to Home service.
They aim to make patients with dementia more comfortable during their stay in Gosport, Petersfield and Alton hospitals, and during their transition back home.
