New members are always welcome, whether to contribute financially, to join our team of crafters or display a small selection of our wares.  Further details are given here on our  volunteering page.

Now that summer is over, take a look at the Hallowe’en toys available in our shop. Please also 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 autumn and winter.

We hope all our friends and customers are still staying alert to stay safe during these unprecedented times. Are grandparents enjoying meeting their new grandchildren in person and looking forward to the day when they get their first cuddle?

By using our online store you will be avoiding the crowded shops and keeping yourself 2m away from other shoppers. 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 also refer to our facebook page which is updated daily.

While you are shopping online, you could be saving money and helping our fundraising for items for the mums and babies at the Rosie Hospital that the NHS cannot buy.

If you have been spending your lockdown spring cleaning, we are still welcoming donations of craft materials.
We need to find alternative storage space for the items we have for sale. If you have a garage or a shed that you are not making full use of would you consider letting it out to our charity.

Unfortunately, we are still unable to open our tea bar in Clinic 21 at The Rosie Hospital.
