FOR the last two years an 84-year-old Newport woman has picked up her knitting needles to support St David's Foundation Hospice Care.
Every few months Phyl Child, of Anuerin Bevan Court, Duffryn, produces bagfuls of beautifully knitted cardigans, scarves and hats for the charity to sell in its network of shops. Mrs Child began knitting to support the charity after St David's nurses cared for her husband.
"They made such a difference to us, so I support them whenever I can so other families can benefit from their care."
Mrs Child buys the wool for her clothes from her pension.
If anyone would like to donate wool for her to use, please call St David's on 01633 271364.
