Horsham Country Women’s Association members have used a substantial wool donation to benefit people across the state.
From premature babies to cancer patients, bushfire victims and those affected by family violence, the donation paired, with the Country Women’s Association, CWA, volunteers’ skills and time, have positively impacted them all.
CWA charity officer and craft leader Bev Shalders said the wool, donated to the group by the family of a late wool shop owner, was made into a variety of items.
“We have knitted beanies for Horsham Cancer Centre patients, teddies for pathology and ambulance, slippers and caps for premature babies, rugs for people affected by the Pomonal fire, and we have sewn patchwork quilts for the Royal Children’s Hospital,” she said.
