Peter Hornsby, our County Network Facilitator, has handed me a newspaper reading from the Shoreham Herald, which I want to share with you all.
Where there's a ball of wool, there's a way to aid children
A GROUP of women has been knitting tirelessly to help deprived children.
The pensioners from the Senior Monday Club, in Southwick, have created almost 100 winter garments to send out to children in Romania, Albania and Moldova.
Now they are appealing for donations of coloured wool so they can create more jumpers, scarves, hats, snoods and cardigans.
This is the first year the group has supported the charity, Christian Response to Eastern Europe, and members hope to carry on providing more knitwear for children aged three to ten.
The team of six women, though, desperately need coloured double knitting wool to produce more items. The women are also hoping that someone will come forward who is willing to go to Exmouth, Devon, where the charity is based, to deliver the items, or that a courier service will offer to deliver the large box free of charge. The club meets at Southwick Community Centre, in Southwick Street, Southwick from 10.30am to 12.30pm on Mondays.
