I took up knitting a couple of years ago and amassed a collection of brightly coloured handmade hats.

I can't really wear more than one hat and rather than give them away to friends I thought it was better to use them to raise money for a very worthwhile cause, which I've been doing for the past few years. This is charity three!

Donations to this page can be made in return for hats and scarves to keep you warm that you can see at patternandyarn.com or you can just make ad-hoc donations in return for warm feelings.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
