If your quite handy at knitting, sewing or crocheting and like to do your bit for charity then ‘Loving Hands’ knitting charity needs you.
It was set up in 2007 by Lou Happ from Fife who ran a knitathon as part of the company she was working for’s ‘voluntary scheme’.
She was inundated with interest so she formed a local knitting group and now ‘Loving Hands’ has more than 4,000 members worldwide.
Every season, a new challenge is set which could be from supplying blankets to a premature baby unit to donating woollen hats to homeless charity Crisis.
Basically you send your knits,sews or crochets to the charity HQ which was originally in Lou’s house, but it has now become so big that she has built a shed to house it all. The goods are then packed into boxes by Lou and a team of volunteers, then distributed to the charities.
To join the knitters network just go to the website ‘Loving Hands’, http://www.lovinghands.org.uk
