A wonderful day of creativity, teamwork, and community spirit as our talented volunteers came together to create a beautiful French cushion. 🧵💚

Every cushion made helps support The Pepper Foundation (The Pepper Foundation), raising vital funds to provide care for children with life-limiting conditions and support for their families.

A huge thank you to everyone involved for donating their skills and time to such a meaningful cause. Together, every stitch makes a difference. 💚
