The Big Knit 2025 – A Huge Thank You!

We are absolutely delighted to announce that we have reached our target for the Big Knit 2025 campaign!

Thanks to the amazing efforts of our local knitters, a staggering 15,000 little hats were created and sent in.

As a result, Age UK Somerset has received £4,500 from Innocent, which will go directly towards helping us reach and support many more older people across Somerset.

We would like to say a huge and heartfelt thank you to everyone who took part. Your kindness, creativity and generosity are making a real difference.

The good news is that the Big Knit will return in 2026 – so please keep knitting! Full details will be shared as soon as we have them.

What's it all about?

Here is the poster for 2025.  Updates will appear on this page soon.
