Hampshire-based Treloar Trust is to benefit from sewn cross-stitch creations of 
favourite UK landmarks, skilfully made by readers of Cross Stitcher magazine.
Entries
in a competition linked to the Postcards in Stitches initiative will raise funds
for Treloar Trust, which provides education and independence training for young 
disabled students at Treloar College and Treloar School.

The cross-stitch postcards will adorn a large map of the UK at The Stitch & Craft
Show in London’s Olympia 2 in March 2007, and will later decorate the walls of a
new Hall of Residence to be built at Treloar’s – a development for which the competition
is helping to raise funds.

Treloar’s is celebrating its centenary and the idea for the charitable competition
was born when Cross Stitcher magazine discovered Treloar’s founder Sir William Purdie
Treloar raised funds by publishing the first postcards to be sold for charity.
