“Beanies for Babies Event” – this Thursday!
This event is an open invite to all Grannies and Grandads to join us in a giant knitting session to raise awareness of Unconventional Gas Extraction (fracking).
We are organising a giant knitting fest where we’ll all be knitting beanies which will then be donated to the local neo-natal unit.
Evidence has shown that young and unborn children and one of the groups which are most negatively affected by unconventional gas extraction and so the event is being organised to link in with this, provide some practical benefits to the community, and highlight the risks and dangers at the same time.
So grab your pins and come and join us outside the Scottish Parliament for a “knitting-fest” tomorrow (Thursday (25th May) between 12-2pm!
More details about the event can be found via: https://www.facebook.com/

Most children admitted to hospital recover on hospital wards, however, some may become more unwell, at times quite rapidly – but training staff to react to early symptoms could save lives and improve patient outcomes, says the study’s lead Dr Ulf Theilen.
