I'm sure a good few people would be happy to give a few hours time in doing either of the following

1) Tie a piece of green ribbon to a piece of white ribbon. That way they can be tied to any size wrist on the spot.

2) Make up a simple green and white ribbon tie, it probably needs two or three stitches to a loop of each colour just to hold them together.Add a safety pin(20 for ~50p)

I reckon with £50 we could make hundreds of each.

To distribute them, How about getting some kids(Willow?) to paint up a sheet in the name that is chosen and set up outside the Town Hall on a Saturday GIVING them out. No donations, Tell people to give money to the family of that lass from Ossy for the kids. Make a few posters so people know what its about.

If its successful other towns could happily follow. Let them work it out for themselves, we can happily advise.

Just a thought, rather than buy ribbon and pins from Accy Market, buy direct from the manufacturer. A quick search on Google brought up lots. Delivery is normally by return, and someone may need to put it on a card. Thats what l used to do.

If you explain what it's for you may even get an even better price. Less cost = more free ribbons.

Good luck.
