Hi all! We are raising money to purchase materials for our upcoming Knitathon to benefit premature babies and homeless people!
We are the Reading University Domestic Do It Yourself Society (RUDDIYS) and we run weekly craft sessions during term time at the University. These sessions cover a variety of crafts, from dream catchers and pom-pom making. They are great fun!
We are running the Knitathon which is an event that has been running annually since 2018. It is a 12-hour knitting session where we aim to knit as many hats as possible in order to help the homeless and premature babies.
This year we are donating the hats to Launchpad, which is a local homeless charity and Wexham Park Hospital's Maternity ward for premature babies in intensive care.
From your donations, the society will be able to purchase wool and knitting needles in order to maximise the number of hats we knit and help as many people as possible.
The money from your donations will cover the costs of supplies, posters and transporting the hats to Launchpad and Wexham Park Hospital:
