Crafting that changes lives
One of our most dedicated crafters, Louise Brown, joint‑leader of the London & West Kent Brooke Supporter Group, has shown the astonishing impact creativity can have.
“Back in 2010, I was doing a street collection for Brooke when an elderly lady asked if I’d like her to knit some donkeys to sell,” she explains
"Over the next few years, she knitted around 250 donkeys for me...I decided to teach myself to knit and I’ve never looked back. I ended up raising £40,000 for Brooke, with the help of fellow crafters!”
