Jumpers for “Fish and Chip” babies

Why “Fish and Chip”? Many of the babies born at the maternity unit are sent home wrapped in newspaper due to a lack of clothing. So these wonderful jumpers will mean many can now go home warm and cosy.

Some of these lovely jumpers are knitted by people in Tiverton as well our club and our friends. Other clubs and friends of those clubs from St Austell, Brixham, Bridgwater, Yeovil  and from all over have also been knitting. Daphne says “Some I have no idea where they come – they appear at the Regional Meetings and even in the post direct to me from older ladies keen to knit and help. It has been amazing, but I need long sleeve ones now”

These jumpers are sent to the Nyalkinyi Charity supporting a small village in Kenya. Take a look at http://www.jnccharity.org/ for more details.
