You did it!
A HUGE thank you to our fabulous knitters of Oxfordshire who in total have created a whopping 40,000 miniature hats.
For every smoothie with a hat sold, Innocent will kindly donate 25p to Age UK Oxfordshire. These funds will make a difference to the lives of older people across the county. Available to buy in supermarkets now!

Calling all knitters - The Big Knit is back!
Every hat is important, and anyone can learn to knit, so whether you knit one or loads, you’ll be making a difference. Age UK Oxfordshire receives 25p for every hat knitted. This year our target is 25,469 knitted hats!
