MALVERN’S Inner Wheel club received a huge response to its plea for wool to knit blankets and jumpers to send to Africa through the Feed the Children organisation.

Spokesman Trudie Haines thanked everyone who contributed, adding: “We would like to give a special thanks to the Knitting Parlour, in Great Malvern, and the Co-op, in Malvern Link, for acting as collecting points. It will give a new lease of life to our knitting ladies, who would be quite lost without their project.”
