Dereham Cancer Care are a local charity whose volunteers offer friendship, support and information to cancer patients, their families and carers - indeed anyone whose life is touched by cancer in the Dereham area. You can visit their centre for a cuppa and a chat, they have coffee mornings, bingo evenings, workshops, respite breaks and access to advice.
Zoe, their manager approached me and asked me to design a collection of jewellery which would help to raise funds for their charity. Zoe and I met at their centre and talked about the sort of jewellery we thought would appeal. We wanted some delicate pieces which might represent the love you carry around with you for someone special. It might be a way of sending love when you can't be there in person.
The Local Love Heart keepsake is made with a nugget of sterling silver and measures approximately 1.5cms. The keepsake has a small love heart stamped on it and is designed to be something you keep in a special pocket and can hold on to when you need a little bit of extra strength or comfort throughout your cancer journey or supporting others on theirs. The nugget comes gift wrapped in tissue paper and in a pillow box tied with purple ribbon and a care card is included.
For every keepsake sold, a donation of £5 is made to Dereham Cancer Care to directly support the wonderful work they do.
