HAVE YOU RECENTLY • Got married? • Retired? • Lost a Relative? • Had a Windfall? • Bought your First Home or moved house? • Found that your Home has gone up in value? • Welcomed a new Child or Grandchild into your family? If you’ve answered yes to any of these questions then it could be time to take a fresh look at your Will. A valid Will is the best way to make sure that your wishes are carried out after your death and to ensure that the money you’ve worked hard for all your life actually goes to the people you choose. If you do not make a Will your spouse or partner will not necessarily inherit everything on your death – the only way to guarantee this is to make a Will. Walter Gray & Co. can help you – For further information or for an appointment at one of our offices at Ryde, Cowes or Shanklin please phone 563765. Home visits for the elderly or disabled are available at no extra cost. BORN TO ENSURE http://www.barelyborn.co.uk/http://www.barelyborn.co.uk/event_detail.php?id=219 Fiona Collyer Fri, 1 May 2009 00:00:00 GMT Why not visit the island's first Charity Shop dedicated to babies and children. Island families and expectant parents are encouraged to visit the shop which is already attracting lots of interest and support from islanders. The charity shop has been set up by Sarah and Rory Morris who have generously committed their premises, time and heaps of effort to create BARELY WORN. Their long term aim is to continue to raise vital funds for causes affecting island babies and children at St Mary's Hospital. BARELY WORN is located on the corner of Monkton Street and Simeon Street in Ryde. The shop's full postal address is Barely Worn, The Old Post Office, 38 Simeon Street, Ryde, Isle of Wight, PO33 1JQ and it will initially open from 11.00 am until 3.00 pm, Monday to Saturday, with a view to extending opening hours as demand increases. The shop has an extensive, high quality selection of new and nearly new clothing ranging from premature baby sizes through to 10 years plus. Not everything is barely worn either! All the beautiful hand-knitted garments and blankets are new! These are so difficult to find and the shop is a real treasure trove for those who favour hand made garments. Other items include toys, books, videos, prams, pushchairs, keyrings and mobiles. Everything is so affordable. It is hoped that the shop will give much needed support to parents and families during this difficult financial climate. Donations of good quality babies' and children's clothing and accessories are always welcome. If you would like to assist in the shop, please contact Sarah and Rory Morris on 07983 508 119 or via e-mail on sarah@themontrose.co.uk.

Island families and expectant parents are encouraged to visit the shop which is already attracting lots of interest and support from islanders. The charity shop has been set up by Sarah and Rory Morris who have generously committed their premises, time and heaps of effort to create BARELY WORN. Their long term aim is to continue to raise vital funds for causes affecting island babies and children at St Mary's Hospital. BARELY WORN is located on the corner of Monkton Street and Simeon Street in Ryde. The shop's full postal address is Barely Worn, The Old Post Office, 38 Simeon Street, Ryde, Isle of Wight, PO33 1JQ and it will initially open from 11.00 am until 3.00 pm, Monday to Saturday, with a view to extending opening hours as demand increases. The shop has an extensive, high quality selection of new and nearly new clothing ranging from premature baby sizes through to 10 years plus. Not everything is barely worn either! All the beautiful hand-knitted garments and blankets are new! These are so difficult to find and the shop is a real treasure trove for those who favour hand made garments. Other items include toys, books, videos, prams, pushchairs, keyrings and mobiles. Everything is so affordable. It is hoped that the shop will give much needed support to parents and families during this difficult financial climate. Donations of good quality babies' and children's clothing and accessories are always welcome. If you would like to assist in the shop, please contact Sarah and Rory Morris on 07983 508 119 or via e-mail on sarah@themontrose.co.uk.

HAVE YOU RECENTLY • Got married? • Retired? • Lost a Relative? • Had a Windfall? • Bought your First Home or moved house? • Found that your Home has gone up in value? • Welcomed a new Child or Grandchild into your family? If you’ve answered yes to any of these questions then it could be time to take a fresh look at your Will. A valid Will is the best way to make sure that your wishes are carried out after your death and to ensure that the money you’ve worked hard for all your life actually goes to the people you choose. If you do not make a Will your spouse or partner will not necessarily inherit everything on your death – the only way to guarantee this is to make a Will. Walter Gray & Co. can help you – For further information or for an appointment at one of our offices at Ryde, Cowes or Shanklin please phone 563765. Home visits for the elderly or disabled are available at no extra cost.

Island families and expectant parents are encouraged to visit the shop which is already attracting lots of interest and support from islanders. The charity shop has been set up by Sarah and Rory Morris who have generously committed their premises, time and heaps of effort to create BARELY WORN. Their long term aim is to continue to raise vital funds for causes affecting island babies and children at St Mary's Hospital. BARELY WORN is located on the corner of Monkton Street and Simeon Street in Ryde. The shop's full postal address is Barely Worn, The Old Post Office, 38 Simeon Street, Ryde, Isle of Wight, PO33 1JQ and it will initially open from 11.00 am until 3.00 pm, Monday to Saturday, with a view to extending opening hours as demand increases. The shop has an extensive, high quality selection of new and nearly new clothing ranging from premature baby sizes through to 10 years plus. Not everything is barely worn either! All the beautiful hand-knitted garments and blankets are new! These are so difficult to find and the shop is a real treasure trove for those who favour hand made garments. Other items include toys, books, videos, prams, pushchairs, keyrings and mobiles. Everything is so affordable. It is hoped that the shop will give much needed support to parents and families during this difficult financial climate. Donations of good quality babies' and children's clothing and accessories are always welcome. If you would like to assist in the shop, please contact Sarah and Rory Morris on 07983 508 119 or via e-mail on sarah@themontrose.co.uk.

BARELY WORN is located on the corner of Monkton Street and Simeon Street in Ryde. The shop's full postal address is Barely Worn, The Old Post Office, 38 Simeon Street, Ryde, Isle of Wight, PO33 1JQ and it will initially open from 11.00 am until 3.00 pm, Monday to Saturday, with a view to extending opening hours as demand increases. The shop has an extensive, high quality selection of new and nearly new clothing ranging from premature baby sizes through to 10 years plus. Not everything is barely worn either! All the beautiful hand-knitted garments and blankets are new! These are so difficult to find and the shop is a real treasure trove for those who favour hand made garments. Other items include toys, books, videos, prams, pushchairs, keyrings and mobiles. Everything is so affordable. It is hoped that the shop will give much needed support to parents and families during this difficult financial climate. Donations of good quality babies' and children's clothing and accessories are always welcome. If you would like to assist in the shop, please contact Sarah and Rory Morris on 07983 508 119 or via e-mail on sarah@themontrose.co.uk.

HAVE YOU RECENTLY • Got married? • Retired? • Lost a Relative? • Had a Windfall? • Bought your First Home or moved house? • Found that your Home has gone up in value? • Welcomed a new Child or Grandchild into your family? If you’ve answered yes to any of these questions then it could be time to take a fresh look at your Will. A valid Will is the best way to make sure that your wishes are carried out after your death and to ensure that the money you’ve worked hard for all your life actually goes to the people you choose. If you do not make a Will your spouse or partner will not necessarily inherit everything on your death – the only way to guarantee this is to make a Will. Walter Gray & Co. can help you – For further information or for an appointment at one of our offices at Ryde, Cowes or Shanklin please phone 563765. Home visits for the elderly or disabled are available at no extra cost.

BORN TO TRAVEL http://www.barelyborn.co.uk/http://www.barelyborn.co.uk/event_detail.php?id=363 Fiona Collyer Mon, 22 Jun 2009 00:00:00 GMT Why not visit the island's first Charity Shop dedicated to babies and children. Island families and expectant parents are encouraged to visit the shop which is already attracting lots of interest and support from islanders. The charity shop has been set up by Sarah and Rory Morris who have generously committed their premises, time and heaps of effort to create BARELY WORN. Their long term aim is to continue to raise vital funds for causes affecting island babies and children at St Mary's Hospital. BARELY WORN is located on the corner of Monkton Street and Simeon Street in Ryde. The shop's full postal address is Barely Worn, The Old Post Office, 38 Simeon Street, Ryde, Isle of Wight, PO33 1JQ and it will initially open from 11.00 am until 3.00 pm, Monday to Saturday, with a view to extending opening hours as demand increases. The shop has an extensive, high quality selection of new and nearly new clothing ranging from premature baby sizes through to 10 years plus. Not everything is barely worn either! All the beautiful hand-knitted garments and blankets are new! These are so difficult to find and the shop is a real treasure trove for those who favour hand made garments. Other items include toys, books, videos, prams, pushchairs, keyrings and mobiles. Everything is so affordable. It is hoped that the shop will give much needed support to parents and families during this difficult financial climate. Donations of good quality babies' and children's clothing and accessories are always welcome. If you would like to assist in the shop, please contact Sarah and Rory Morris on 07983 508 119 or via e-mail on sarah@themontrose.co.uk. The Barely Born Appeal team wishes to thank Sarah and Rory for their wonderful fundraising initiative. Good Luck!

HAVE YOU RECENTLY • Got married? • Retired? • Lost a Relative? • Had a Windfall? • Bought your First Home or moved house? • Found that your Home has gone up in value? • Welcomed a new Child or Grandchild into your family? If you’ve answered yes to any of these questions then it could be time to take a fresh look at your Will. A valid Will is the best way to make sure that your wishes are carried out after your death and to ensure that the money you’ve worked hard for all your life actually goes to the people you choose. If you do not make a Will your spouse or partner will not necessarily inherit everything on your death – the only way to guarantee this is to make a Will. Walter Gray & Co. can help you – For further information or for an appointment at one of our offices at Ryde, Cowes or Shanklin please phone 563765. Home visits for the elderly or disabled are available at no extra cost.

HAVE YOU RECENTLY • Got married? • Retired? • Lost a Relative? • Had a Windfall? • Bought your First Home or moved house? • Found that your Home has gone up in value? • Welcomed a new Child or Grandchild into your family? If you’ve answered yes to any of these questions then it could be time to take a fresh look at your Will. A valid Will is the best way to make sure that your wishes are carried out after your death and to ensure that the money you’ve worked hard for all your life actually goes to the people you choose. If you do not make a Will your spouse or partner will not necessarily inherit everything on your death – the only way to guarantee this is to make a Will. Walter Gray & Co. can help you – For further information or for an appointment at one of our offices at Ryde, Cowes or Shanklin please phone 563765. Home visits for the elderly or disabled are available at no extra cost.

They would like to put the Baby Unit upstairs next to the Maternity Unit so that the mummys can feed and help care for their babies and could you help us raise money please. From Genevieve Thank You ----------------- Many, many thanks to Genevieve who wrote to her Headteacher asking for the school to support The Barely Born Appeal! Here's our letter back to Genevieve... Dear Genevieve Your Mummy has just handed me a copy of your super letter asking your Headteacher to help raise money for the sick babies at St Mary’s Hospital. I think it is really caring and thoughtful of you, Genevieve, to write such a letter and I will exhibit your letter on our intranet site for everyone to see. Your Mummy will show you the site and your letter once it is completed. Your Headteacher cannot fail to be very impressed with your letter because the handwriting is really neat and clear. The letter is also well written and I’m sure the Headteacher will help to raise lots of money for the sick babies. Thank you very much, Genevieve, for taking the time to think of others. Have a really fantastic Christmas and I know that Father Christmas will bring you lots of lovely presents because you have been so good. Merry Christmas!

Island families and expectant parents are encouraged to visit the shop which is already attracting lots of interest and support from islanders. The charity shop has been set up by Sarah and Rory Morris who have generously committed their premises, time and heaps of effort to create BARELY WORN. Their long term aim is to continue to raise vital funds for causes affecting island babies and children at St Mary's Hospital. BARELY WORN is located on the corner of Monkton Street and Simeon Street in Ryde. The shop's full postal address is Barely Worn, The Old Post Office, 38 Simeon Street, Ryde, Isle of Wight, PO33 1JQ and it will initially open from 11.00 am until 3.00 pm, Monday to Saturday, with a view to extending opening hours as demand increases. The shop has an extensive, high quality selection of new and nearly new clothing ranging from premature baby sizes through to 10 years plus. Not everything is barely worn either! All the beautiful hand-knitted garments and blankets are new! These are so difficult to find and the shop is a real treasure trove for those who favour hand made garments. Other items include toys, books, videos, prams, pushchairs, keyrings and mobiles. Everything is so affordable. It is hoped that the shop will give much needed support to parents and families during this difficult financial climate. Donations of good quality babies' and children's clothing and accessories are always welcome. If you would like to assist in the shop, please contact Sarah and Rory Morris on 07983 508 119 or via e-mail on sarah@themontrose.co.uk.

HAVE YOU RECENTLY • Got married? • Retired? • Lost a Relative? • Had a Windfall? • Bought your First Home or moved house? • Found that your Home has gone up in value? • Welcomed a new Child or Grandchild into your family? If you’ve answered yes to any of these questions then it could be time to take a fresh look at your Will. A valid Will is the best way to make sure that your wishes are carried out after your death and to ensure that the money you’ve worked hard for all your life actually goes to the people you choose. If you do not make a Will your spouse or partner will not necessarily inherit everything on your death – the only way to guarantee this is to make a Will. Walter Gray & Co. can help you – For further information or for an appointment at one of our offices at Ryde, Cowes or Shanklin please phone 563765. Home visits for the elderly or disabled are available at no extra cost.

Island families and expectant parents are encouraged to visit the shop which is already attracting lots of interest and support from islanders. The charity shop has been set up by Sarah and Rory Morris who have generously committed their premises, time and heaps of effort to create BARELY WORN. Their long term aim is to continue to raise vital funds for causes affecting island babies and children at St Mary's Hospital. BARELY WORN is located on the corner of Monkton Street and Simeon Street in Ryde. The shop's full postal address is Barely Worn, The Old Post Office, 38 Simeon Street, Ryde, Isle of Wight, PO33 1JQ and it will initially open from 11.00 am until 3.00 pm, Monday to Saturday, with a view to extending opening hours as demand increases. The shop has an extensive, high quality selection of new and nearly new clothing ranging from premature baby sizes through to 10 years plus. Not everything is barely worn either! All the beautiful hand-knitted garments and blankets are new! These are so difficult to find and the shop is a real treasure trove for those who favour hand made garments. Other items include toys, books, videos, prams, pushchairs, keyrings and mobiles. Everything is so affordable. It is hoped that the shop will give much needed support to parents and families during this difficult financial climate. Donations of good quality babies' and children's clothing and accessories are always welcome. If you would like to assist in the shop, please contact Sarah and Rory Morris on 07983 508 119 or via e-mail on sarah@themontrose.co.uk.

HAVE YOU RECENTLY • Got married? • Retired? • Lost a Relative? • Had a Windfall? • Bought your First Home or moved house? • Found that your Home has gone up in value? • Welcomed a new Child or Grandchild into your family? If you’ve answered yes to any of these questions then it could be time to take a fresh look at your Will. A valid Will is the best way to make sure that your wishes are carried out after your death and to ensure that the money you’ve worked hard for all your life actually goes to the people you choose. If you do not make a Will your spouse or partner will not necessarily inherit everything on your death – the only way to guarantee this is to make a Will. Walter Gray & Co. can help you – For further information or for an appointment at one of our offices at Ryde, Cowes or Shanklin please phone 563765. Home visits for the elderly or disabled are available at no extra cost.

If you’ve answered yes to any of these questions then it could be time to take a fresh look at your Will. A valid Will is the best way to make sure that your wishes are carried out after your death and to ensure that the money you’ve worked hard for all your life actually goes to the people you choose. If you do not make a Will your spouse or partner will not necessarily inherit everything on your death – the only way to guarantee this is to make a Will.

Home visits for the elderly or disabled are available at no extra cost.

Refreshments will be provided (courtesy of the NHS Education South Central ‘Skills for Life’ project). In order to raise money for The Barely Born Appeal during this week, we are running a ‘Born to Learn’ week. Trainers are volunteering their own time to provide fun lunchtime and evening classes for staff to attend (and pay a donation). These classes will include knitting, Morris dancing, creating hanging baskets, crochet and many more! More details will follow shortly. In addition, we are holding a ‘Born to Learn' raffle which will be drawn during the Open Day (15th May) with many wonderful prizes (kindly donated by local businesses) along with a 1st prize of an IPod touch (donated by NHS Education South Central). Representatives from the Development and Training team will be outside the canteen between 12.00 noon and 1.30 pm for the week of 20 April 2009 raising awareness of Adult Learners Week and also selling raffle tickets.

HAVE YOU RECENTLY • Got married? • Retired? • Lost a Relative? • Had a Windfall? • Bought your First Home or moved house? • Found that your Home has gone up in value? • Welcomed a new Child or Grandchild into your family? If you’ve answered yes to any of these questions then it could be time to take a fresh look at your Will. A valid Will is the best way to make sure that your wishes are carried out after your death and to ensure that the money you’ve worked hard for all your life actually goes to the people you choose. If you do not make a Will your spouse or partner will not necessarily inherit everything on your death – the only way to guarantee this is to make a Will. Walter Gray & Co. can help you – For further information or for an appointment at one of our offices at Ryde, Cowes or Shanklin please phone 563765. Home visits for the elderly or disabled are available at no extra cost.

HAVE YOU RECENTLY • Got married? • Retired? • Lost a Relative? • Had a Windfall? • Bought your First Home or moved house? • Found that your Home has gone up in value? • Welcomed a new Child or Grandchild into your family? If you’ve answered yes to any of these questions then it could be time to take a fresh look at your Will. A valid Will is the best way to make sure that your wishes are carried out after your death and to ensure that the money you’ve worked hard for all your life actually goes to the people you choose. If you do not make a Will your spouse or partner will not necessarily inherit everything on your death – the only way to guarantee this is to make a Will. Walter Gray & Co. can help you – For further information or for an appointment at one of our offices at Ryde, Cowes or Shanklin please phone 563765. Home visits for the elderly or disabled are available at no extra cost.

HAVE YOU RECENTLY • Got married? • Retired? • Lost a Relative? • Had a Windfall? • Bought your First Home or moved house? • Found that your Home has gone up in value? • Welcomed a new Child or Grandchild into your family? If you’ve answered yes to any of these questions then it could be time to take a fresh look at your Will. A valid Will is the best way to make sure that your wishes are carried out after your death and to ensure that the money you’ve worked hard for all your life actually goes to the people you choose. If you do not make a Will your spouse or partner will not necessarily inherit everything on your death – the only way to guarantee this is to make a Will. Walter Gray & Co. can help you – For further information or for an appointment at one of our offices at Ryde, Cowes or Shanklin please phone 563765. Home visits for the elderly or disabled are available at no extra cost.

We really do appreciate all the time and effort that goes into making these lovely items and we simply cannot thank you enough. We showcased your necklaces at the Cowes Christmas Extravaganza and also took them to the Ventnor Winter Gardens Christmas Fair. These two events raised around £200.00! Your necklaces certainly do draw attention and we could not have raised this amount without you. Once again, Brenda, please accept our most sincere thanks. We know that each necklace is made with love and we could not raise this money for our unit without people like you.

We really do appreciate all the time and effort that goes into making these lovely knitted garments and we simply cannot thank you enough. Knitting is very important to the unit as it not only provides staff and parents with much needed clothing changes for babies but also it draws attention to our stalls at island events. Some people are still not aware of the Barely Born Appeal and when they see the beautiful knitted garments, they realise what the appeal is about. Hand-knitted garments generate money for the appeal too. Once again, Betty, please accept our most sincere thanks. We know that each garment is knitted with love and we could not raise this money for our unit without people like you.

Island families and expectant parents are encouraged to visit the shop which is already attracting lots of interest and support from islanders. The charity shop has been set up by Sarah and Rory Morris who have generously committed their premises, time and heaps of effort to create BARELY WORN. Their long term aim is to continue to raise vital funds for causes affecting island babies and children at St Mary's Hospital. BARELY WORN is located on the corner of Monkton Street and Simeon Street in Ryde. The shop's full postal address is Barely Worn, The Old Post Office, 38 Simeon Street, Ryde, Isle of Wight, PO33 1JQ and it will initially open from 11.00 am until 3.00 pm, Monday to Saturday, with a view to extending opening hours as demand increases. The shop has an extensive, high quality selection of new and nearly new clothing ranging from premature baby sizes through to 10 years plus. Not everything is barely worn either! All the beautiful hand-knitted garments and blankets are new! These are so difficult to find and the shop is a real treasure trove for those who favour hand made garments. Other items include toys, books, videos, prams, pushchairs, keyrings and mobiles. Everything is so affordable. It is hoped that the shop will give much needed support to parents and families during this difficult financial climate. Donations of good quality babies' and children's clothing and accessories are always welcome. If you would like to assist in the shop, please contact Sarah and Rory Morris on 07983 508 119 or via e-mail on sarah@themontrose.co.uk.

These classes will include knitting, Morris dancing, creating hanging baskets, crochet and many more! More details will follow shortly. In addition, we are holding a ‘Born to Learn' raffle which will be drawn during the Open Day (15th May) with many wonderful prizes (kindly donated by local businesses) along with a 1st prize of an IPod touch (donated by NHS Education South Central). Representatives from the Development and Training team will be outside the canteen between 12.00 noon and 1.30 pm for the week of 20 April 2009 raising awareness of Adult Learners Week and also selling raffle tickets.

The slight delay in responding was due to the fact that my son (27) had my laptop last night to install some new software. He was born 3 months prematurely weighing less than 2lbs. After a very worrying time he came home fine with no ill effects. He is now over 6ft and is getting married in Sorrento in three weeks' time.
