The Friends of the Rosie Hospital are raising money to help make the Rosie a more comfortable environment for mothers and babies. In 2023 we raised over £3,000.

We are sharing our extensive catalogue on our facebook page so you can grab yourself locally sourced, unique, beautifully crafted gifts and warm clothing and accessories for special friends and family. By using our online store you will be avoiding the crowded shops and keeping yourself safe. You can shop for new items here or donated items in our rosieinstitches2010 eBay charity store, and vintage knitting patterns on our facebook page. Please take a look at our extensive selection of jumpers and cardigans ideal to keep babies and children up to 4 years old toasty and warm through the remaining weeks of winter using coupon sleeves50. If you don’t find what you are looking for we do accept commissions.
