You are very welcome here.

Our Online Community

Welcome to Woolly Hugs, glad to have you on board. If you’d like to knit, sew or crochet for charity then you are in the right place! We always need help!

Woolly Hugs is a busy, inclusive online community run entirely on a voluntary basis. It is hoped that through our hand crafted items, babies, children and their families will feel love, support, comfort and physical reassurance, the sense of being loved and looked after.

Because we run our organisation through the website, we have members worldwide, but the majority are based in the UK.

All levels of ability and experience are very welcome.

The aim of our online community is to bring individuals together with the common goal of helping 
others, whilst also providing therapeutic value, supporting all, including those who are isolated 
through geography, advancing age or poor physical or mental health. 
We actively encourage donations so that we can be inclusive, so all can craft for our charity 
irrespective of whether they can afford to or not. Costs are not to be a barrier.

We have several ongoing projects, maybe the thing to do is have a look through and see which appeals. Lots of very specific crafting info to read there re sizes and yarns. Please do make sure what you are crafting for us meets these. Do ask if you have any questions!

Help us send love, compassion, care, comfort and warmth to those who need it most, join us today!

Next posting dates are always to be found on our homepage. See above. Crafters are welcome to do as much or as little as they like. From one square to a whole blanket.

We tend to announce new projects on social media: Facebook, Instagram and obviously our website. THANK YOU!
