Our Knit for Purpose 2026 blanket deliveries have begun! 🧶❤

Thanks to the generosity and dedication of our amazing volunteers, we’ve already received 4,026 knitted squares, which have been sewn into 115 beautiful blankets!

And thanks to the incredible mahi of our community of knitters and sewers, these beautiful handmade blankets are now making their way to community organisations across Canterbury, where they will provide warmth, comfort, and a reminder of the kindness woven into every stitch.
