Get knitting to raise money for Mencap
This year, Mencap will be working with The Knitter magazine as their Charity of the Year. The partnership is supported by I Knit Links, a project providing support for people wanting to set up knitting groups in community settings.
Throughout 2010 we will be organising lots of different and exciting fundraising events. This page will be updated regularly with new information, so remember to keep checking back for the latest details!
