Large quantities of knitted items went to Syria as well as to Syrian refugees in camps in Turkey.
Lap blankets, dressing gowns and twiddlemuffs went to various care homes, particularly for those caring for dementia patients.
Children and adult jumpers, hats and scarves went to women’s refuges; baby clothes to new-born babies whose mothers have nothing; and wool and needles to a refugee drop-in centre in London, a hospital in Bristol, and a prison in Wales, amongst others.

We are delighted to be able to send cones for machine knitting and haberdashery to Nottingham Trent University for students on textile courses.  Knit for Peace combats waste!

What we need

The numbers of new refugee arrivals in the Greek Islands has increased enormously in the last few weeks, and Lesbos now has over 13,000 refugees on the Island, with facilities for just over 4000. They especially need large blankets (3x6ft or 5x6ft). The nights are cold and they are sleeping on the ground!

‘Help abused women’ campaign continues

Thank you to everyone who has donated to our appeal to help abused women. We’re nearly half way there! 

These women, victims of rape, released from trafficking, or victims of domestic violence benefit from knitting. It helps their recovery, because it is calming, it makes them feel useful, as they knit for themselves, their children and others. Some even set up small businesses, selling their knitting.
