Tiny newborns to benefit from talents of AMH knitters

Premature newborn babies at Antrim Area Hospital will be all cosy and warm in new knits lovingly crafted by clients at Action Mental Health.

The adorable little knits ­– including cardigans and hats – were handcrafted by a group of dedicated knitters in New Horizons Antrim and have been donated to the hospital’s neonatal unit.

Service manager at New Horizons Antrim, John Davis said: “Over the past number of months the knitting group in New Horizons Antrim have been busy producing cardigans and hats for premature babies. We visited The Loving Hands Group in Cullybackey to donate our baby knits and they will pass them on to a local midwife based in Antrim Area Hospital Baby Unit. We received a warm welcome from the group and were treated to homemade scones and tea.”
