The Big Knit is back! 🧶

We’re thrilled to announce that Age UK's partnership with innocent, The Big Knit, is back, and we need your help!

It's time to grab your knitting needles and crochet hooks and get involved – Age UK Wyvern receives 30p for every hat knitted, helping provide much-needed services and support to help older people live well.

Ready, set, knit 🔗 https://www.ageuk.org.uk/wyvern/get-involved/fundraising/the-big-knit-2026/

Unfortunately, our Ross-on-Wye charity shop was broken into last night and as a result the store will be closed today whilst we carry out the necessary repairs and prep the shop ready for trading again. We regret that we will not be able to accept any donations at the store until we reopen.

We are deeply upset that this has happened to our store but will do our best to bounce back as soon as possible!

Thank you for your understanding.

✨ Free and friendly one-to-one help with using online services is available every Tuesday morning at Ross library.

Volunteers from Age UK Wyvern offer a regular drop-in session for older people wanting to use the internet on their phone, tablet or laptop 💻.

A range of volunteers staff the Digital Café each week. Clare is one such volunteer and came to the role because she wanted to use her background in IT and have a chance to meet people.

📣 “People are amazed by what they can find out online with a bit of help. We’ve had all sorts of queries – swapping from one phone to another, booking train tickets, organising emails, sorting photos into albums. A lot of people get emails that they are worried about and very sensibly don’t open them but bring them to us for advice. We’ve stopped a lot of people from falling victim to online scams. But on the other hand, we’ve helped people who were too scared to use the internet because they worried about security.”

New volunteers, as well as new clients, are always welcome.
