PATIENTS at Pendle Community Hospital are enjoying making rag rugs with artist Lynne Stein.
She has been employed by the Burnley Health Care Trust as part of the Year of the Artist work and is carrying out a project up to Christmas with the elderly patients who meet at the Nelson hospital. Occupational therapist Rachel Kennedy said: "She is making rag rugs with the patients and it is very good therapy for them.They get to see results almost immediately, it gives them a sense of achievement, good for concentration and also for improving finger dexterity."
