    A woman in her eighties made this woollen crochet circle, despite suffering from severe arthritis in her hands. She was a member of the Hackney Elderly Caribbean Organisation. All members donate the income they make from selling arts and crafts objects to group funds. The organisation provides services including advice, outings and health education.
