Tameside Hospital's mortuary team seeks knitted heart donations from local community

The Mortuary team at Tameside Hospital has issued an appeal to the local community for help replenishing their stock of knitted hearts.

These small, handmade tokens hold significant emotional value, as they are placed in the hands of deceased patients, with a matching heart given to the bereaved family.

The tradition of providing these knitted hearts offers comfort to grieving families during a difficult time.

However, the team is currently running low on these knitted hearts and is reaching out to the public for help. Whether you are an experienced knitter or new to the craft, any contribution would be greatly appreciated. The team welcomes all who can contribute to this meaningful cause.
