The Rotary club of Ormskirk Clocktower and the prospective Rotary Club of Skelmersdale and Up Holland delivered “twiddle muffs” to The Spinney Care home in Up Holland.
A twiddle muff is a knitted muff with different textures and items attached with which a patient with dementia can fiddle.
Medics have observed that they have a calming effect on patients.
A Rotary Club spokesperson said: “The staff there were very pleased and gave them out to residents immediately.”
