A charity has created a new scheme after a donation of a realistic baby doll led to an influx of requests.
Kindness of Strangers, which has a store on Derry's Castle Street, had been given a Baby Reborn doll, which are made to look incredibly realistic.
While looking for a good home for this doll, the charity received heart-breaking messages in behalf of vulnerable adults and dementia patients, who often find great comfort in taking care of dolls such as these.
