The aim of SOLAK was initially to send out lap quilts to sufferers to let them know that there was someone out there in the world who understood and cared. At the same time we wanted to raise awareness of ME/CFS amongst those who might not otherwise have heard of the illness

The project was launched on the internet in April 2001 and since then has grown to include members from all over the world.

SOLAK has been extremely successful, more so than we had ever hoped for, and it soon became clear that there were many many people who deserved one of our quilts just to let them know they were not alone in their battle for health.

In February 2006 we added cushions to our gift giving.
Our 'cuddle cushions' can be hugged for comfort.
They are also needed to help give support to someone who has difficulty sitting up, or to help cushion them during the night.

We now send quilts and cushion to anyone with a long-term illnesses and wish everyone a safe and speedy recovery.
