    This March, we’re inviting you to get crafty for a cause by spending one hour a day crafting throughout the month. 

    Knit it, stitch it, crochet it - however you craft, you’ll be helping North London Hospice provide compassionate end of life care when it’s needed most.

    A scene is shown made out of crochet including a table with some balls of wool on it and some people sat at the table with cups of tea

    Get sponsored for your crafting

    We suggest a fundraising target of £150. 

    Every stitch really does make a difference. 

    £24.50 - could help fund an Associate Community Nurse to deliver one hour of care to a patient in their own home.

    £102.50 could fund the drugs used on our IPU to keep patients pain free for 24 hours.

     £183.75 could pay for a Registered Nurse in the Inpatient unit for a day.

    Blankets

    Our Inpatient Unit has asked for blankets that patients can use during their stay, with the option for families to take them home as a keepsake - a meaningful connection and memory.

    Patchwork blankets or knitted squares 

    These will be used to decorate large letters that spell ‘NLH’ in our retail spaces.
