The Friends of the Rosie Hospital are helping to make the Rosie a more comfortable environment for mothers and babies. If you have any toy stuffing or yarn we are in urgent need of your donation. For up-to-the minute information follow Rosie in Stitches facebook page.

We found out at our Annual General Meeting in March that during 2015 we spent £11,780.00 of your valuable donations on 3 apnoea monitors which help with babies’ breathing, 3 movable breast pumps and 10 cots.

The Tea Bar sold a massive £725.80 of knitted toys and clothes, nearly half of Rosie in Stitches total income. After expenses Rosie in Stitches income was £1,624.85.

Anna Shasha, Head of Midwifery, expressed her appreciation of the equipment we had bought. The wooden cots look lovely. She suggested that we could provide small things like transfers on walls which make a huge difference to the appearance of the rooms.
