Bingham Care Home Knitters Donate Blankets To Children At Nottingham Hospital’s Sexual Assault Referral Centre

Residents from HC-One’s Fosse Way View Care Home, in Bingham, Nottinghamshire, have been using their knitting skills to support the Project Linus Charity and Queen’s Medical Centre Hospital’s Serenity Sexual Assault Referral Centre (SARC) Unit for a second year running.

After the success of last year’s knitted creations, Fosse Way View’s keen knitters were eager to grab hold of their knitting equipment and get to work to help support Ceris Watts, volunteer for the Project Lunis Charity.

The charity helps provide the children at the Nottingham hospital with warm blankets this winter. Ceris personally collected the blankets from the care home.

Ceris Watts, Volunteer for Project Lunis Charity, said:
“I am so happy to be picking these lovely blankets up from the Fosse Way View knitting ladies, the children will love them! The partnership we’ve built with Fosse way view is brilliant for the charities.”

Dawn Bellaby, Wellbeing Coordinator at HC-One’s Fosse Way View, stated:
“I’m so proud of the time and effort our lovely ladies in our Knit and Natter group have put into making the blankets. We were all moved when Ceris told us where are going this year. We hope they feel our love when they hug them.”

This year, the knitting club produced a total of eight blankets to donate. Next year, the ‘Knit and Natter’ ladies aim to expand their creations to hats and scarves.
