A group of churches has knitted hundreds of angels to be given away.

The Local Churches Together in Malvern Christmas Angel Knitting Group has been busy for months creating the angels to be given away to those who would like one.

The project's organiser, Jenny Bull, said: "For the past nine years, The Christmas Angel Knitting Group has knitted angels and distributed them in and around Malvern very early one morning a few days before Christmas, for folk to take home with them.

"They are very much appreciated and the group receive lovely comments about them."

For the past three years, at the request of Malvern Hills District Council, the group has knitted 100 coloured angels, one to go in each of the goody bags they provided for needy families.

Although the council will not be providing goody bags this year, Malvern Rotary Club are providing treat packages to 100 families in need.

Ms Bull added: "We are so pleased to be able to support the families and the Malvern Rotary Club project with the angels."

If you want your own knitted angel, the group will be distributing them from 7.30am on the morning of Thursday, December 19.
