Local care home resident donates knitted baby sets to charity
Brampton View Care Home in Northampton is home to avid knitter Doreen. Doreen has been knitting in her spare time for most of her life and has recently taken to knitting baby blankets and hat and mitten sets.
The care home welcomed Deborah Hicks, Fundraising and Engagement Officer from Restore Northampton to meet Doreen as Doreen was keen to donate some of her recent completed sets to Restore Northampton’s Baby Boutique.
Deborah commented “Doreen’s items are absolutely beautiful. We will be proud to display them in our baby boutique. It is wonderful for the individuals that we support to know that someone is thinking about them. It has been an honour to meet Doreen and I can’t wait to see what else she produces in the future.”
