No age limits exist, but the association is mainly for women hence our name. Activities we do annually is knit teddy's, make trauma dolls and knee rugs for the hospitals and ambulances. We make and fill pamper packs (Toilet Bags) giving them to hospitals, groups effect by domestic violence, and those in need. We make activity packs and stock them giving them to hospitals (Activity packs are items to keep children's minds filled while waiting in waiting rooms, emergency etc and they contain colouring books, pen, pencils rubbers, shapeners a game and a toy). and are in great demand.
