LINDEN – The team donated mugs of soup and knitted beanies and scarves to the members of the Fairland Police Station. 

To mark South African Police Service Day on 23 June, local NPO Kindness Like Confetti decided to do something special for the men and women in blue who have been working tirelessly to keep our streets safe during the lockdown period.

Started by the Jozi Jersey Project, which is the knitting arm of Kindness Like Confetti, the team came up with the idea to knit beanies and scarves for police officers. “We were given the green light but we also found out that the officers would not be allowed to wear them on duty as they are not standard issue uniform,” said Kim Wiehe of the Jozi Jersey Project. The team decided to donate to the members of the victim support unit. Kindness Like Confetti organised mugs with soup to be given to all members of the station’s staff.

Kindness Like Confetti serves up love this Valentines Day.

Eeufees Oord retirement village was transformed into a sea of red as volunteers from the charity Kindness Like Confetti descended on the small village for Valentine’s Day.

The ‘Confetti Girls’ wanted to kick off 2024 with a bang says Claire Duvel. “We chose to spoil the golden oldies with a three-course meal in the little hall which we decorated for the occasion.”

The food was top notch says resident Aubrey Crowder. “We all had a lovely time hosted by such wonderful people who took time out of their busy lives to include us in such a lovely way.”

“Our knitting and crochet team called The Joseph Jersey Project made up soap bags for residents. The soap saver bag doubles up as a light exfoliator and allows you to easily grip and control the slippery soap in the shower.”
