Little hats, big difference
Join us to knit little hats for innocent smoothie bottles and help raise money to support older people!
Every year, an army of woolly warriors take up their knitting needles and crochet hooks as part of the innocent Big Knit in partnership with Age UK.
The Big Knit is our partnership with innocent drinks. We've been working together since 2003, asking the country's crafters to knit little hats for the tops of innocent smoothie bottles. Every hat knitted raises 25p to help Age UK provide much-needed services and support to older people.
Sadly the deadline has already passed – please sign up to our newsletter and we'll let you know when the next campaign kicks off.
The deadline has already passed to send in your hats, and as such our postboxes are closed. Please hold on to your hats for now, and we'll let you know when we're able to receive hats again.
We can't accept any more hats at the moment, so please hold on to your hats for now, and we'll let you know when we're able to receive them again.
We haven't got a confirmed date for the next campaign, but we'll be sure to let you know when we do.
From 23 January 2023, hats will be in branches of Sainsbury’s, Costa and Co Op.
Things are taking innocent a little longer than usual at the moment, so they've decided to give themselves a little more time. They continue to be committed as ever to helping older people who are most in need through their Big Knit campaign with Age UK and hats will be on bottles in January.
We can't accept any more hats at the moment, so please hold on to your hats for now and we'll let you know when we're able to receive hats again.
We'll send you regular emails with top tips, updates and information about our wider work and how you're helping older people.

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.
The money we raise from the Big Knit helps us be there for older people who have no one else to turn to.
Watch our video to see just how much this means to people like Jean and John.
