Loving Hands is an organisation which was founded in June 2007 & the first group was established in Kelty in August 2007. Since then the organisation has grown immensely with members from around the world joining the Loving Hands website.

We supply a range of clothing items for prem babies and for infants & children up to the age of 10; blankets & toiletries for the children's home; toiletries & sanitary products for ladies undergoing surgery, along with jewellery & nail varnish to boost their self confidence & knitted squares for their Empowerment programme.
