We need your woolpower!
Knit or crochet a little hat and Innocent will pop it onto one of their smoothie bottles and give 25p to Age UK Cheshire for every behatted drink sold.
Little hats make a big difference
Innocent have been putting little hats on their smoothie bottles in support of Age UK for 17 years. That's all thanks to heroic volunteers stitching thousands of bobble dazzlers year after year.
Every hat is important, whether it's neat as a pin or as homemade as a pasta portrait. Knit one, knit loads - you'll be making a huge difference either way.
When you run out of woolpower, or floorspace, please drop your hats in at one of our local shops (once we're allowed to re-open).
Thank-you for all your support!
