Comfort Dolls are provided free to dementia patients by Age UK Wolverhampton. They can have a major therapeutic effect for patients, and are greatly appreciated by patients, their families and carers.
Comfort Dolls
Our comfort dolls are made entirely by volunteers, and distributed by our staff and volunteers working with New Cross Hospital and in other dementia care settings.
If you are a care provider, or an individual that knows someone who would benefit from being gifted a comfort doll, please contact us on 01902 572060 or mail@ageukwolverhampton.co.uk If you're a care giver, we ask that in return, you display some of our promotional information on your notice boards and information points on your premises.

Comfort Dolls Relaunch
Hugh Porter and Anita Lonsbrough are supporting the relaunch of our Comfort Doll project. The dolls were designed to look as close to the couple as possible, with Hugh's doll wearing a rainbow jersey, the prize for a world champion cyclist, while Anita's wore a pink cardigan and had fair coloured hair.
The relaunch is inviting individual carers and residential homes/care setting to apply for comfort dolls.
