Sarah’s blog 09/12/23
Today, 9th December, we are highlighting the Mother & Baby project. You may have seen my blog from a few days ago when students from Bright Futures Secondary School visited Chambo Health Centre with boxes of baby clothes and blankets.
We are so fortunate to have people donate their time and talents knitting baby clothes, hats and blankets to be shared on the maternity ward at the health centre. The new mothers are always very grateful to have something warm to dress their babies in. Also, if the new mothers bring their babies back to the health centre after a few weeks, they will be able to receive some more clothes for the baby. This also gives the staff at the health centre another chance to have a chat with the mums and check they and their babies are ok.
This project is such a good way of involving some of the most vulnerable people in the community and letting them know that they are valued and cared for.
Here is the link with the photos from the visit last week Knitting & Babies Thank you to everyone who supports this project. It costs £17.50 to send a box on the container so, even if you aren’t able to knit, you might like to support this project by paying for a box of knitting to get to these vulnerable babies. Here is the link where you can donate to this and other projects. https://gofund.me/d3cf8c3a Thanks, Sarah x
