Cosy hand warmers made by young people have been handed out to residents at a fold in East Belfast.
The gifts, handmade from faux fur, were presented to residents at Loopland Fold this week by Lagan Village Youth and Community Group. Funded by the Housing Executive, the project saw fifteen young people make 200 of the ‘Rolly Polies’ which are also being distributed to older and vulnerable residents in the local community.
Amanda Ashe, the Housing Executive’s good relations officer for South and East Belfast, said: “This was an excellent 20 week programme for 10 to 16 year olds, which has benefited the younger and older generations alike and has made a real difference.
