    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 - the cost of a high quality knitting kit or crafting materials - could help fund an Associate Community Nurse to deliver one hour of care to a patient in their own home.

    Get Crafty!

    Get those knitting needles or crochet hooks ready and get crafting, starting from 1 March.

    Share your journey. Let your friends and family know you are taking on Big Fun Craft 2026. Shout it from the rooftops on your social media and share your fundraising page.

    Donate or sell what you make.

    Here are a few ideas that would be especially welcome:

    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.
