Burntwood crafters are being asked to support a campaign to make the area a dementia-friendly town.
As part of the efforts, Burntwood Town Council wants to create a display of forget-me-not flowers created by local residents.
Cllr Di Evans, chair of the Burntwood Dementia Group, said:
“Dementia is a dreadful problem involving an increasing number of people and also puts considerable pressure on carers, which is why the council is very keen to help.
“There are a number of crafting projects that are available to highlight dementia.
“If anyone would be willing to knit, crochet or cross-stitch forget-me-nots they can then be taken to the town council offices at the Old Mining College Centre on Queen Street.
“Eventually we hope to have a display of them around Burntwood.”
