A kind hearted care home resident has lovingly donated toys she has knitted to premature babies at a hospital’s neonatal unit.

Queenie Mytum, of Cubbington Mill Care Home, recently delivered the ‘cuddle me toys’ to SCBU (Special Care Baby Unit) at Warwick Hospital .

She and fellow resident Cheryl where also shown around the unit and they presented the hard-working staff there with goodie bags filled with treats.

Queenie said: “It’s been great fun knitting these toys for the new babies.

"It was wonderful to visit the ward and it really made us feel special that all of the staff came to say thank you.

"I can’t wait for our next community knitting project to start, it gives us a real sense of purpose.”

SCBU cares for up to 25 premature new-born babies at a time.
