Big Knit in 2024/2025
Celebrating 21 years of little hats
We have joined in the Big Knit campaign every year since it began in 2003 and believe it is a fun way for knitters (expert and newbies) to help older people in the community.
Age UK, the national charity based in London, have confirmed that the Big Knit Campaign is back on for 2024 and 2025. Every little hat you send us will raise a vital 30p from innocent smoothies.
Please help us reach our 20,000 target
We are grateful to all our Big Knit knitters. Whether you knit four or five little hats, or like spending hours working your way through bags of wool, we appreciate every little woolly marvel that arrives at The William and Patricia Venton Centre. Each little hat enables us to make a difference to older people in Northamptonshire.
Call us on 01604 611200 if you'd like to get involved. You can post your little hats to us at The William and Patricia Venton Centre, York Road, Northampton NN1 5QJ or drop them off at any of our eight shops in Northamptonshire.
Let’s get those needles clicking and create a real yarn to remember!
Knitters have until Tuesday 1st July 2025 to send in their hats, so there's plenty of time to get involved.

Every hat is valuable to us - we count them, bag them and post them off to innocent so that they can be put on smoothie bottles at the end of 2025!
Together, we can improve later life for everyone in Northamptonshire
