We would like to send our thanks to everyone who got involved, knitted hats, or shared details of our 2025 Big Knit campaign, which came to an end on the 31st July 2025.
Our local Cornish knitters, community hubs, and crafters have been in full swing for the past 6 months, sending us a mountain of tiny hats. Tonight, we happily dispatched the final box of these adorable creations, bringing the grand total to a whopping 3,642 hats!
These local creations have raised a fantastic £1,092.60 for Age UK Cornwall, and will support our Benevolent Fund. But even more impactful, is the fact that we've connected people and linked up with lots of local craft groups, also shining a spotlight on the incredible services Age UK Cornwall provide.
This short video by Age UK National highlights just how important this campaign can be...
"Just to say how much I’ve enjoyed knitting simple little hats from small balls of wool! It has kept me busy through some lonely evenings, and I’ve enjoyed helping those less fortunate than myself." Cherie
