The Great North Devon Knit In is now in its 14th year and continues to be hugely popular with people across the area. The fun of getting together with friends or family and clicking needles for this good cause motivated hundreds to get involved last year, and this year North Devon Hospice are hoping for even more.

On or around February 23rd, the Hospice are asking people to get together and knit as much as they can in this wonderful sponsored event, which last year raised over £16,000. With your help, North Devon Hospice are aiming to top the £20,000 mark for the first time. As well as being sponsored to knit for the hospice, the strips that are knitted will be put to very good use and sewn into blankets.

North Devon Hospice are a local charity providing specialist care and support to those with a life-threatening illness and to their loved ones, completely free of charge. In order to provide these essential services, they need to raise over £3 million every year.

So please call or email if you are interested in taking part and you will receive help setting up your Knit In event with your own friends or family. We can also provide sponsor forms and fundraising tips.
