A pair of Northamptonshire sisters turned to knitting after the tragic loss of a family member. Debbie Brumby was a midwife for 22 years but since the end of 2021, she is now a Sessional Clinical Assessor for the University of Northampton.
Angie said: “In 1995 my daughter Donna died in a road traffic accident, leaving us absolutely devastated. Debbie and I set up Donna’s Angels in her memory, at first as an informal group for Donna’s family and friends to help them cope with the fallout of losing someone we held – and continue to hold – very close to our hearts.
Their last round of designs were Christmas-themed covers for the traditional festive food, the Chocolate Orange, plus woollen table decorations. Debbie and Angie made – and sold – a finger flummoxing 600 items. “When we handed over the cheque, seeing the faces of the people at the Café was amazing. The managers of the Café told us how many activities and trips the money will fund, which made all the hard work worthwhile. And we both know Donna would be over the moon about that.”
