Age UK Milton Keynes need your help

    Knit a hat, warm a heart: 10,000 down, 10,000 to go - join the Innocent Big Knit 2025!

    Do you love the click of knitting needles or the rhythmic pull of a crochet hook? Then grab your yarn and join the heartwarming Innocent Big Knit 2025! We're on a mission to top smoothie bottles with tiny, adorable bobble hats, all to raise vital funds for Age UK Milton Keynes.

    Since 2003, your crafty creations have raised nearly £3 million, making a real difference in the lives of older people. This year, we're aiming even higher!

    We've already knitted 10,000 hats, but we still need 10,000 more!

    Every hat you make helps Age UK MIlton Keynes provide crucial support, especially during these challenging times.

    Hannorah Lee, Interim Fundraising and Engagement Director at Age UK, says, “The Big Knit is a wonderful way to bring communities together through creativity while raising vital funds to support older people in urgent need.”
