The toy group at Carlyle Gardens has been hard at work, lovingly crafting an array of handmade toys for children in the broader community. Residents have been using their woodworking skills to create miniature tractors, cots and lawnmowers, to name a few.
They were thrilled to receive a donation of $500 from Rotary Club of Bundaberg City Daybreak yesterday, to help the group continue its good work. Rotary will distribute the toys to those in need this Christmas, bringing a little joy and festive cheer to the community.
Before Rotary arrived, the residents’ workshop looked a little like Santa’s, overflowing with gifts, woodworking tools, and dedicated toy-makers putting the finishing touches on their handiwork.
Village Manager Belinda Hensler was on hand to receive the cheque from City Daybreak President, David Facer. We’re very grateful for the kind donation, and to the team of residents who’ve been working hard on hand-crafting these gorgeous toys.
