blah blah blah

Many of you may already be involved with making Siblings Together quilts and will know about the charity, but for those who are new to the world of Siblings Together quilts here's a quick explanation of what it's all about.

Siblings Together is a charity founded by Delma Hughes, which works to bring together siblings, separated by the care system in the UK.

The Siblings Together charity website explains that there were about 65,000 children in care in England in 2010 and over 40,000 of these children will have been separated from a brother or sister. This separation is often in addition to the breakdown in relationships with parents, which often happens with children in care. For more information please visit the Siblings Together website, which can be found using this link.

Delma and her team arrange summer camps where the children can get together to spend valuable, fun time with their siblings. In Delma's words:
