It could be a scarf, a hat, a blanket, or even a simple square to contribute to our blanket. Whatever your craft, make a difference one stitch at a time for people living with kidney disease.

No, any fundraising you are able to do is incredible and will go towards the people we support. We do suggest aiming for £150 as this means you will earn your Kidney Care UK tote bag with two wool balls in our brand colours.
The aim is to create something like a hat, scarf or blanket that can help keep kidney patients warmer in the winter. If a blanket/scarf feels too daunting, we suggest you knit/crochet squares that are either 6inx6in or 12inx12in, they then post them to us. We will then create them in to a blanket.
Whatever your craft, make a difference one stitch at a time for people living with chronic kidney disease.
