We've all heard about acts of kindness during the pandemic and the wider lockdown but when we heard about Brian and his handmade Reindeer Baskets we felt we had to get involved.
Brian (pictured seated) is 82 years old and to keep himself busy during lockdown he has been making Reindeer Baskets and selling them with all the proceeds going to Cancer Research and St Luke's Hospice. Aided in part by his daughter Caroline, Brian has been able to make one reindeer an hour with timber mouldings and glue donated by Palladium Building Supplies in Kingsbridge.
They have proved to be so poplular that Brian and Caroline have a backlog of over 240 reindeers to be made before Christmas with Caroline having to take time off work just to fulfil the outstanding Reindeer Baskets which means unfortunately that no new orders can be taken.
Thank you Brian, a true act of kindness.
