Knitting for charity

Lots of charities here

I used to knit jumpers for a charity. It was exactly the same pattern for all jumpers, but in all sizes from baby to large male. I can't find it now, which is really annoying. It was for refugees arriving here in thin fabrics and no winter clothes.

Hello knit987blue

I knit squares and premmie blankets for LILY (Love in the Language of Yarn). They also need warm knitted garments for babies and children.

They have to be posted to Turkey where they are made into blankets for Syrian refugees by a lovely lady called Dianne and her helpers. They also welcome donations towards transport costs.

HI there fellow nutty knitters. There is a charity based I think in Scotland called loving hands they will take or redirect anything you can make. Also there is Knit for Peace. With both of these websites you need to post your work to them so there is a cost.
Oxfam will no longer take the teabag vests or blankets. Any blankets are now sold at music festivals. Which is good I know but after all the hours it took to knit/crochet a blanket I personally would rather it kept a kid feeling secure in a hostel or warm on the side of a mountain when their world has fallen apart. This as I said is only my opinion

Should have said it's www.operation-sunshine.org

We have Operation Sunshine in our area and our group knits for them. Goods are sent in containers and we have a contact the other end so we know the goods get through to the destination. In parts of East Africa the poverty has to be seen to be believed. I dont know your area but google Operation Sunshine and see if that's an option.
You do not have to pay postage.
I love my knitting and enjoy knitting clothes for the children, blankets, hats scarfs etc. People are very generous donating left over yarn and we use it all. Lots of jazzy striped tops - children love them.
Oxfam used to do this but they have changed now and it's stopped.
Hope this helps!
