How to help
It costs a lot to send large quantities of knitted items and accessories around the UK to the community groups, prisons, hospitals, care homes and other organisations which support people who need warm clothes and blankets.
If you can spare any funds to support this work, it would help greatly.
A one time donation or perhaps even setting up a monthly donation of a few pounds to help support our work!
Many thanks.

Sponsor a Sack
Knit for Peace has grown and grown, we currently send out tens of thousands of items every year to people who need warm clothes and blankets.
Please help us meet the cost of sending out the knitting by sponsoring a sack for £22 so we can continue to send warm clothes and blankets to those in need (especially as the weather is so cold).
