The Big Knit is Back!

Get ready to pick up your knitting needles and help Age UK Wiltshire make a big difference in the lives of older people.

By knitting tiny woolly hats for the top of Innocent smoothie bottles, you’ll help raise essential funds—30p for every bottle sold with a hat. These funds enable us to provide vital support and services for older people in Wiltshire, Swindon and Southampton.

You can drop your hats into any Age UK Wiltshire location.
