Cannock Soroptimists recently collected items of clothing for women in need at New Cross Hospital Maternity Unit.\u00a0 The club set up the campaign which was advertised on Social Media, in the press and of course by word of mouth from all club members.\u00a0 Some members of the Club had donation boxes outside their homes whilst other members were happy to collect donations if needed.<\/p>\n

They were simply overwhelmed by the kindness and generosity of local people who not only donated nearly new items which had been requested but also many brand new items as well as cash donations.<\/p>\n

Tracey Stokes, the Club\u2019s Programme Action Officer, has been liaising with Rebecca Emery who is part of the Specialist Midwifery Team.<\/p>\n

Rebecca said: \u00a0“The specialist midwifery team support women with complex social needs.\u00a0 The women are referred to the team for a variety of reasons including substance and alcohol misuse, a history of learning difficulties, mental health complexities, previous experience of the care system,\u00a0 \u00a0or any other factors that could make it difficult for them to safely care for their baby.\u00a0 The team provides enhanced care for the duration of the women’s pregnancy and the postnatal period to ensure a positive outcome for mum and baby.”<\/p>\n

The team was immensely grateful for the clothes and for the items purchased with the monetary donations: breast pads, maternity sanitary ware, changing mats, cold water steriilsing units, sterilising solution and wet wipes.<\/p>\n

Cannock Soroptimists will continue their support of this unit.\u00a0 Anyone wishing to donate new or nearly new women’s clothes, [T shirts, leggings, nightwear, underwear (new) in sizes 8 \u2013 14] newborn baby clothes or baby equipment: it will be gratefully received! Please contact us at si_cannock_donations@hotmail.com<\/p>\n
