MP visits Hayling Island Piecemakers quilting group for annual Charity Day

He went to Hayling Island Community Centre and met members who were busy creating cushion covers for Age Concern's Sunnyside Hall base on the Island.

There are more than 50 Piecemakers and the group is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year.

Members meet on the fourth Wednesday of each month at the United Reformed Church Hall and support charities and other organisations by producing beautiful hand-made quilts.

Members also enjoy a programme of talks, workshops and visits throughout the year.

Mr Mak said: "I would like to thank the members of Hayling Island Piecemakers for welcoming me to their Charity Day. It is great to see them using their skills and creativity to help others and I wish them all the best for their 25th anniversary year."
