Lifeline Pegs
Handmade quality pegs designed to last a lifetime

From humble beginnings when, forty years ago, they were made in the Occupational Therapy Department at Morisset Hospital, Lifeline Pegs are back in production. The pegs are now being hand-made by a dedicated group of people with disabilities to the same quality, strength and enduring standards that the community has come to know and love.

The pegs are made of plastic-coated wire and are renowned for their strength. The shape and size of the pegs make them also ideal for arthritis sufferers.

The pegs can be purchased online or through Lifeline shops in the Newcastle & Hunter region.

All profits directly support the vital services of Lifeline Newcastle & Hunter.
