Knit for Peace

Knit for Peace We match knitters with good causes. We'll help you donate your knitting to people in need 🧶 So we set about finding outlets.

Here at Knit for Peace we believe that knitting (and crochet) is good for people. As well as being fun and therapeutic, knitting brings people together and gives a way of helping others in need, providing benefits both to the knitter and the recipient. Based on our experience of developing Knit for Peace over the last few years, we have learned that knitting is extremely important as an activity that can be carried out right into extreme old age and helps improve long-term health, both mental and physical. Our policy is to encourage people to give, whether it is time or money. We now distribute regularly to outlets including hospitals, women’s refuges, refugee drop in centres, prisons, community groups, and hospices. We send the knitting (and crochet) to where it's needed. We also pass on donations of yarn and needles to enable people on low incomes to knit. The operation has grown organically, and we estimate we have over 22,000 knitters. Send your knitting to us and we will make sure that it goes to a good home.

We have received a lovely thank you from our partner organisation in Glasgow

'Good Morning

I would like to express our sincere thanks for the generous donation of boxes of wool, gloves, jumpers and hats.

Thanks to your kindness and support, we have been able to distribute these wonderful items to our local schools, church and various community groups, helping to keep people warm and cosy.

We are truly grateful for your generosity and for thinking of our community. Your support has made a real difference, and it is lovely to see some of the items being put to good use.

I have attached a wee photo of two of our children from church, all warm and cosy in their lovely items.

Thank you once again for your kindness and continued support.'

Thank you, Knitters and Crocheters, for all your work and generosity.

Pat in Chingford is an extraordinarily skilled and generous crocheter and has sent us these magnificent blankets. We are in awe. There is so much decorative detail you could spend hours studying it and still not see everything.

Thank you, Pat.

J in Blackpool has sent us this joyfully colourful blanket. We love all the different patterns and marvel at how they are achieved. I think it's all crocheted, but I am willing to be corrected as some of the textures are so brilliantly unusual.

Thank you, J.
