Winter Woollies

As the temperatures drop and the cost of heating goes up, there are people in our Borough who will struggle to keep themselves warm.

If you can knit or crochet hats, scarfs or blankets and would like to get involved, it doesn’t matter if you can do one item yourself, or if you can work with friends, class mates or other groups you are involved in, every single item will go to someone in need whether it is a baby, an older person, or anyone in between.

Donations can be left at both Mossley Mill or Antrim Civic Centre, 9am-5pm Monday to Friday, from Monday 2
October to Friday 17 November 2023.

Please leave your name, address and contact number with your donated item, to be in with an opportunity to be selected as a ‘Mayor’s Favourite Item’.

For more details T. 028 9034 0160 or E. envhealth@antrimandnewtownabbey.gov.uk

Whether you're a knitting pro or just getting started, your contribution matters.

Create hats, scarves, or blankets with love. Every single item will find its way to someone in need, from precious babies to cherished elders, and everyone in between.

On Your Own: Craft a single item with care.
Team Effort: Join forces with friends, classmates, or the community group you're part of.

Include a friendly note along with your creation. Your warm words will be passed on to the lucky recipient of your handmade gift.

If you are unable to get to a donation drop off point please contact the Environmental Health (Health and Wellbeing) team who will arrange to collect your item.
