AFTER delivering ‘traffic light’ baby hats to the Special Care Baby Unit at Torbay Hospital, members of Newton Abbot WI were asked, by Anna, the Bereavement Lead Midwife, if the could make ‘Angel Blankets’?

The answer of course was ‘Yes’, says the WI’s Karen Jenks.

‘When I took this project back to our lovely ladies, I did not expect the response I got. We were really pleased to be able to hand over 43 blankets, and eight little baby hats. All made with lots of love.

‘Anna also asked us if we could make some ‘Angel Beds’ too. This we are doing and will hand over very soon.

‘We as a WI are so proud of being able to help knitting the baby hats, Angel blankets, and Angel beds, and will continue with these as and when they are needed.’

The ladies making the presentation were: Denise, June, Karen, Julie, Pat, Sarah and Madeleine. The ladies who couldn’t help present them were Judy, Cathy and Rosemary.

The staff there were Anna and Wendy.
