Charity That Would Like Knitted Baby Clothes For Children Abroad

[Galaxy1965]

Hello

My aunt knitted baby clothes for Blythwood Care, that were sent abroad, she filled large boxes and they came to her house every few months to collect them when they were in the town. As she has no transport and is over 80 she could not get to the local collection point so they collected them from her home.
But now they have stopped coming to the town and it is too expensive for her to post the items, so she wonders if anyone knows of charities that require knitted baby clothes for babies abroad that would collect the boxes every few months from her home.
She lives in Dumfriesshire in Scotland.
Thanks in advance.

Perhaps she could try Oxfam. Maybe there are some charities here in Scotland that need those knitted articles for orphans.

I should have added that I admire your Mother for what she has and is doing.
God Bless her.

Cannot connect to Lisas stars.
Would love to help as granddaughter was 2 months premature.

Having a very premature Great Grandson last year I understand the Neonatal departments at most hospitals would be very grateful for some tiny matinee jackets and small blankets.

Many parents of these tiny babies are rarely prepared to give birth to such tiny babies so to have a selection to pass on to these parents is a lovely thought.

Your Aunt is a lovely lady for working to help others at her age.

Thank you everyone for your help, I will pass on the details to my aunt, she loves to knit as she says it keeps her mind active and she like to feel she is being useful. If anyone can help with donations of Baby DK wool and Baby 3 and 4 ply wool she would be very grateful, contact me at [email protected] if you can help.
