Craft group helps hospitals
Members of the Ettalong Beach Arts and Craft Centre have been busy making a number of items to donate to Gosford and Wyong Hospitals.
The stitchery group, which meets on Thursdays, have been making small caps for premature babies in the neonatal ward and breast care packages for breast cancer patients.
Their most recent donation has been brightly coloured lap quilts for the geriatric ward that were donated to the hospital earlier this month.
"This is quite a challenging program the stitchery team have undertaken and they look forward to having new members joining them," said publicity officer Ms Sue Sullivan.
"The materials have, until now, been purchased with a $500 grant from the Rotary Club of Kariong Somersby, which has helped cover some of the cost of the materials, but the demand is ongoing
"If anyone in the community has access to bulk supplies of soft cushion wadding we would love to talk to you," said Ms Sullivan.
