KNITTING, SEWING, CROCHET & WOOL CAMPAIGN

CAN YOU HELP WITH KNITTING, SEWING OR CROCHET ?

With winter fast approaching in Ukraine we now need a new focus on winter items including blankets, knitted garments (particularly for children of infant and junior school age) and hot water bottle covers. We are also requesting decorations for Christmas trees,  especially small stockings that we can pop sweets or a lolly into and sell at upcoming events​.
