STITCHES OF HOPE

Knitting and crochet may be your hobby, a good way to pass a few spare hours, but did you know you could be saving a life? Across the country an army of knitters continually fill our warehouse with the most amazing array of lovingly knitted blankets and clothes.

Historically these items were sent on containers to Africa where, believe it or not, babies were dying of cold. Since we stopped sending containers, we have linked up with another Christian charity, Mission Without Borders, who ensure your wonderful items are delivered to those in need in Eastern Europe where temperatures fall well below zero.

With the Russian invasion of Ukraine, your help is needed now more than ever. Please send any newly knitted items to our address below.

Working through the local churches, MWB assist those in most need in communities and orphanages in Eastern Europe. Winters are harsh in these countries with temperatures plummeting to well below zero. A blanket or warm jumper can be the difference between life or death.
