THERAPISTS: OCTOBER 2025​

 

THE WAITING LIST FOR REQUESTING FREE WORRY MONSTERS AND/OR HAND PUPPETS

​

IS NOW CLOSED AGAIN

​

We are very sorry, and we know this is disappointing, but once again when our waiting list opened we were inundated with requests for our items, and we are now unable to take any more for the time being. 

​

We will reopen the waiting list in a few months’ time. Please understand that we are only a small charity run by one person and one helper, and everything is handmade, so we’re not set up for huge numbers of orders.  We will do our best!  We’re so sorry but we can’t keep your details until the list opens again, you’d need to re-apply, so please “Follow” us on our Facebook page to get alerts.

​

​Other ways to get worry monsters and/or hand puppets 

 

We suggest that you find a free worry monster pattern online and ask a knitting group local to you if they would kindly knit some for you.  Most knitting groups do knit for charity and that way there would be no postage costs.  If you're unsure of where to look, try your local library, which will often hold a "Knit and Natter" group, or alternatively you will find that many folk have mothers or grandmothers who can knit and might be willing to help

​​

Patterns 

Our patterns are only available to our registered team of knitters owing to liability and insurance issues

 

IF YOU'RE ALREADY ON THE OLD WAITING LIST from 2022/23

Postage and Packing

Items are free, but we do ask for the p&p, payment details of which will be sent to you when your items are available

The charity makes no profit.  The monsters and puppets are made entirely by volunteers, who not only devote their time and skills free of charge but also pay for the materials they use.  The only charge to therapists is for the actual cost of post, packaging and insurance, either:

​

• £7.50 for a box of up to 5 worry monsters plus hand puppets 

• £4.50 for a box of hand puppets only.

• ​

• Please note that if hand puppets are unavailable at the time that your monsters are ready there may be a further wait for the hand puppets, which may need to be sent separately later on.  In that case a separate invoice will be sent for p&p (£4.50) when the hand puppets become available.

​

​We're sorry but we can't send out items until the p&p charge has been paid.  Payment is not due until your items are available, when payment details will be sent.

Terms and Conditions

Please note that our items are classed as therapy items, not toys.  They must not be given out to children to take away or keep, but used only under adult supervision.  Owing to small parts, children under 36 months should never be left alone with them.

​

We are only able to post items to UK addresses.
