The stats for Knit for Purpose 2024 are in and WOW! Our team of amazing volunteers donated 1,913 knitted or crocheted squares, which were stitched into 34 cosy blankets!
This year our recipients were organisations providing hospital support - Nurse Maude, Burwood Spinal Trust, Ronald McDonald House, and Ranui House. We also provided blankets to Qtopia and Nest Collective for the people they support. Take a look at our Photo Gallery to see these worthy recipients.
A massive thank you goes out to all those involved. Your kindness has made the world a warmer, better place.
