Search Home About Us News Knitters wanted to help make hats for children this winter We’re looking for people who want to get involved in a winter knitting project to help provide hats for children across Bury. Six Town Housing will be working with local primary schools and other voluntary organisations to help make this happen. If you want to get involved, you can either knit at home or we can put you in contact with one of our local knitting groups and you can join them each week for a cuppa, a chat and some knitting. One of our aims with this project is to tackle loneliness amongst those who often don’t get a chance to socialise with others. Wool, needles and patterns can be provided if you need them. The idea came after a number of parents expressed concern about the coming winter, especially after a lot of families have lost the £20-a-week uplift from Universal Credit. Six Town Housing’s knitting groups have previously been involved with various projects, such as knitting for the premature baby unit and knitting scarves for the homeless, so they wanted to help.
