Whitley Bay-based umbrella charity Angels of the North now has over 150 knitters, including a large team from Age UK, producing children’s clothes for distribution to three continents and eight causes supporting needy families including Newton aycliffe.
Because of the increased levels of production, Angels of the North has a shortage of knitting wool and is appealing for anyone who has unused balls of wool cluttering up their cupboards, for which they have no further use, to donate them to this cause.
The knitting team is sitting with needles at the ready to produce beautiful warm clothes for deprived children.
Sheena Stephenson who runs Baby Basics in Newton Aycliffe receives knitted garments for her charity from Angels of the North and offers to pick up the wool if you ring her on on 07594 297462 or drop it off at her home: 13, Merz Road, Newton Aycliffe, DL5 5LR.
