The Big Knit is back!

Dust off your needles and hooks, because the innocent Big Knit is back and we're hoping to collect as many little hats as we possibly can. Every hat raises 30p for Age UK Southampton, helping us support older people across the area. Last year you knitted an incredible 22,850 hats and raised £6,855, and we think together we can go even further. Whether you're a seasoned knitter or picking up needles for the first time, there's a pattern for you. Send your hats to us or drop them in at our Day Centre, and get in touch with our Big Knit Coordinator at bigknit@ageukwiltshire.org.uk if you have any questions.
