Knit, Sew, or Crochet Every Day in November

Fundraise

Join our Facebook challenge to support Alzheimer's Research UK! Whether it's five minutes or five hours a day, every stitch helps us get closer to a cure for dementia.

Set yourself a goal to raise £150 for vital dementia research.

It doesn’t matter if you’re a knitting pro, or whether it’s your first time trying – everyone’s welcome.
