Jephson Homes Housing Association staff have been digging out
their knitting needles for a good cause.
Staff at the Association's Leamington office have together
knitted over 180 small hats.
Resident Involvement Officer Helen Barnsley said: "The staff
really wanted to contribute to this campaign - people were knitting
hats and pom poms in their spare time and we managed to knit over
180 in quite a small time frame! Family and friends were also
keen to help and it was fabulous to see a small pile of hats grow
each day. There were all kinds of designs and colours - it
was great. We'll aim to do 200 next year."
Each of the hats will be put onto bottles of Innocent Smoothies
that Sainsburys and Boots will sell on for the Big Knit campaign to
raise money for Age UK. They are on sale now.
For each bottle sold money will be given to Age UK to help keep
people warm at winter.
