The blankets are destined for Poland to help children in need.

TAYSIDE motor parts firm D&A Factors have handed over a £812 cheque to the special baby care unit at Ninewells Hospital in Dundee.
The firm, which has a branch in Forfar, raised the cash by staging a charity football match in Forfar last October.
ANGUS District Council’s policy and resources committee agreed to award a £350 grant to the Tayside Special Olympics Group. The cash will assist the group to meet the cost of sending the group away to the British Special Olympics in Sheffield later this year.
TAYSIDE Police will have the authority to issue on the spot tickets to offending motorists as of April 1. In the past, the matter was always referred to the procurator fiscal.
