NextGen’s knitting project started with baby jumpers that were destined for Vanuatu and since then, it has taken off! Knitting is obviously a much-loved hobby and we now have people all over Australia (and some as far as London) sending us their creations. We have expanded our donations of knitting to many different countries and items including:
- Beanies and scarves for the Port Hedland Seafarers
- Warm clothes for Aboriginal communities in outback Australia
- Toys, baby blankets, and baby/child clothes for maternity wards in various countries
- ‘Knitted Knockers’ for breast cancer survivors
- Trauma teddies for emergency services workers on the Gold Coast
- Joey pouches for orphaned wildlife
- Easter chicks for fundraising
If you would like to be involved in any of our knitting projects, please email us at ian.yarker@gmail.com or contact Ian on 0427330966 for more information on what is currently needed (we can provide patterns if needed).
