Volunteer Opportunities with Knitted Knockers UK

Thank you for your interest in volunteering for Knitted Knockers UK.

We welcome applications from knitters who are experienced at working in the round (using dpns or circular needles) and crocheters to join our friendly Facebook community.

If you cannot knit or crochet but would still like to support our wonderful charity by raising funds and/or raising awareness of what we do, we would be very pleased to welcome you too!

In order to provide the best service to our recipients, Knitted Knockers are made to order only in specific yarns, which is why we don’t accept donations of yarn or of knitted/crocheted knockers.


After approval stuffed knockers are then posted out by the maker to the lady who has ordered them.

As part of the application process you will be required to

  •  produce two test knockers (either two knitted or two crocheted) to the accepted standard,

  • upload photographs of the knockers for approval to our closed Facebook page, which is where you will be provided with both the pattern and any help and support you need to aid you meet our high standards.

  • Please note that as knitted knockers are requested in much higher quantities than crocheted ones, there is usually a much greater need for knitters than for crocheters, so we only accept applications from a very small number of crocheters.


We will do our best to deal with your application as soon as possible, but please be aware that at busy times you may need to wait to hear from us and once you’re in the process it can take a while to get through our systems.
 
Please note we are currently not accepting new volunteers to crochet knockers.

WE CURRENTLY HAVE ENOUGH KNITTERS AND CROCHETERS TO FULFIL THE ORDERS WE RECEIVE. THE SITUATION WILL BE REVIEWED IN 2024.

Thank you for your interest.
