Story

We would like to celebrate our daughter Sophie’s 5th Birthday by thanking Simpsons Special Care Babies and the Neonatal Unit for all their amazing work when she was born, by fundraising and also hosting a Knit-a-thon for the babies in the wards.

Sophie was born 3 &1/2 months early and weighed 880g. It was an extremely difficult time, but thanks to the expert care and support from the staff at the hospital, Today she is a healthy, funny, intelligent and beautiful soon-to-be 5 year old! 

When babies are born so tiny, there is a great need for lots of donations of tiny specially knitted cardigans, baby hats, blankets and teddy’s. 


These things just aren’t available commercially - and it honestly means just so much to the families to receive them!

The required Knitting Patterns are available from Specsavers Morningside (01314469960, or dir.morningside.uk@specsavers.com )
