The Big Knit 2026-2027

The Big Knit Has Officially Launched!

We are delighted to announce that the Innocent Big Knit has officially launched, and this year we're setting ourselves an ambitious target of 25,000 knitted hats!

For every little woolly hat knitted and placed on an Innocent smoothie bottle, 30p will be donated directly to Age UK South Gloucestershire. Every hat helps raise vital funds to support older people in our community, enabling us to provide essential services that tackle loneliness, improve wellbeing, and help people remain independent for longer.

If you'd like to get involved, click the link to download knitting patterns and start creating your hats today. Keep an eye out for our Knitometre at the Tresoro Lounge, Thornbury, where you can track our progress towards the 25,000-hat goal.

Once you've completed your hats, please send them to:

Freepost RTEX-ERLY-HUYS
Age UK South Gloucestershire
67 High Street
Thornbury
BS35 2AW

Alternatively, you can pop into our Thornbury office and drop them off in person.
