Do you mean that you want the address of the Preemies UK or just anywhere? Neo-natal units in your area would probably accept them

If you look on the charity thread further down there is a thread for Shelley or Grant 42 can put you in the right direction.

you can take or send them to your nearest hospital with a prem baby unit.They are always delighted to receive them as they have to wash them at a high heat so they don’t last long. Otherwise Paul Ogrady (Channel 4) has asked for them to send to Africa. The details are on the channel 4 website. Happy knitting and keep up the good work

Usually your local maternity hospital will welcome prem knitting

Save the Children’s website has the details for where to send your hats for their Africa appeal which is what Paul oGrady is promoting.

Also Bonniebabies.co.uk would love them - and they have free knitting patterns too.
