The Crafty Friends Annual Report 2025
Well, here we are again, after another productive year!
For anyone who doesn’t know who we are, here is a little info about what we do!
We are a group of knitters, crocheters, and sewers, who make various items for the neo natal hospital, care homes for the elderly, the homeless in the way of blankets and Age UK. We also make things to sell for the Church funds at the craft fairs.
Anyone wishing to join us will be made quite welcome as the more the merrier!
This year our production has gone very well, consisting of: –
60 prem baby hats, 4 new born cardigans,
30 hats 2 mittens and
1 pair of booties,14 baby blankets for the neo natal unit
32 twiddle muffs for the elderly
25 homeless blankets
7 lap blankets
68 bobble hats for the homeless
246 smoothie bottle hats for Age UK.
This year to commemorate Remembrance Day, with the help from Junior Church and various members of the congregation we made 230 crocheted, knitted and paper poppies which were made into a beautiful display in Church! Amazing!
So once again, I would like to extend a big thank you to everyone who contributed in any way for these things to happen. Let’s hope that 2026 proves to be as good!
God Bless.
