How to help
It costs a lot to send large quantities of knitted items and accessories around the UK to the community groups, prisons, hospitals, care homes and other organisations which support people who need warm clothes and blankets.
If you can spare any funds to support this work, it would help greatly.
A one time donation or perhaps even setting up a monthly donation of a few pounds to help support our work!
Many thanks.

Sponsor a Sack
Knit for Peace has grown and grown, we currently send out tens of thousands of items every year to people who need warm clothes and blankets.
Please help us meet the cost of sending out the knitting by sponsoring a sack for £22 so we can continue to send warm clothes and blankets to those in need (especially as the weather is so cold).
Show the world how generous you are or dedicate a sack in the name of a friend, a relative or in remembrance
Donate your knitting to us
If you are unable to donate your knitting locally, you are welcome to send your items to us and we will distribute them to people in need across the UK. If you are sending to us please include our attached recording sheet so that we can let you know when your parcel has arrived.
Donate yarn and knitting supplies!
Have you got any spare yarn that you won't be using? We are always on the look out for yarn donations as we can then use them in our work with marginalised sections of society, for example in prisons and women's refuges to help set up new groups and keep the needles clacking, or for sending to refugees arriving in the UK! Please note, we can only accept full yarn balls and partial balls that are of a reasonable size!You can send any yarn donations to us at Knit for Peace, Radius Works, Back Lane, London, NW3 1HL.
You are also welcome to come in person, between 10am and 5pm, Tuesday to Thursday.
What we need most – Clothing and blankets
What we have lots of - Baby clothes and twiddlemuffs
What we cannot accept - Fish and chip jumpers
In order to cut down our environmental impact (and your postal costs) we are encouraging knitters to deliver their knitting locally where possible.
