Arthur Rank Hospice Charity is calling on local knitters and crafters to help bring a little joy this spring by creating its much-loved knitted Easter chicks.
The colourful, hand-knitted chicks have become a familiar and much-anticipated sight in the Hospice, its charity shops and at local events during the lead-up to Easter. Each chick is sold to raise vital funds that support compassionate end-of-life care for patients and families across Cambridgeshire.
The charity is now inviting knitters of all abilities to get involved by creating chicks to be sold in the run-up to Easter. A knitting pattern is available via the Hospice’s social media channels, and all handmade chicks should be clearly labelled for community fundraising.
Completed chicks can be:
- Dropped off at the Hospice
- Delivered to any Arthur Rank Hospice Charity shop
- Posted to: Arthur Rank Hospice Charity, Cherry Hinton Road, Shelford Bottom, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, CB22 3FB
The deadline for donations is 15 February.
For those who don’t knit but would still like to support the appeal, donations of Crème Eggs or similar-sized Easter eggs are also very welcome. Each knitted chick is traditionally filled with a small chocolate egg before being sold. Donations can be dropped off at the Hospice, any of the charity’s shops, or ordered directly via the Arthur Rank Hospice Charity Amazon Wishlist.
Anyone with questions is encouraged to email cf@arhc.org.uk or comment on the charity’s social media posts.
By taking part, local supporters will help spread joy this spring while contributing to the ongoing care and support provided by Arthur Rank Hospice Charity to patients and their loved ones.
