This November Embracing Age will be 10 years old
To celebrate, we are remembering one of the first residents we found a volunteer for, a lady called Rose.
We need your help to crochet 100's of red roses for people to wear to remember care home residents like Rose, who are so often overlooked and ignored.
Our founder, Tina English, who loves to crochet, has created a pattern and an instruction video. To download a printable version of the pattern click on the button below, or scroll down to view the video and the written pattern.
