Members from Carrickfergus and Whitehead Library took part in sessions following an appeal by the children’s charity to help create a range of unique jumpers for Barney.

The Barneys and their individually created jumpers, with each knitter’s name attached, will be raffled to raise funds for vital work with less-advantaged and vulnerable children across Northern Ireland.
