Hello,
We’re excited to share our festive "Woolly Christmas Tree" created entirely from brand-new hats lovingly knitted by local volunteers in Leicestershire. It’s our way of celebrating the season a little differently, coming together to create and give back to people in our community.
Every hat on the tree will be donated to a local charity to help keep people warm this winter. The response from our community has been amazing, and we’re grateful to everyone who picked up their needles to be part of it.
We're still happy to receive further donations of hand-knitted beany style hats (with a colourful pompom if possible!) and we're also happy to hear from charities who might want to receive some of the hats for those in need.
The tree will be on display at the Elysian Gift Shop, based at The Monos Centre, Abbey Grange, Whitwick LE67 5UP(What 3 Words: ///rehearsal.hiking.cookie) throughout December. The Monos Centre is also home to Abbey Grange Tearoom where you'll find the best tea and scones in Leicestershire!
We'd welcome people to pop in, take a look at what our community has achieved, and help us spread warmth, creativity, and community spirit this Christmas.
