We are thrilled to announce that we’ve raised a remarkable total of £1,804! If my calculations are correct, this means £451 will go towards the church restoration fund, while £1,353 will support Knit-a-Square in South Africa! The knitters have put in an incredible effort not only to raise this money but also to complete the 'Christmas in July squares' in festive colours of red, white, and green during our 24-hour marathon and beyond. Additionally, Penny crafted a blanket for the homeless in Plymouth during this time. We are still accepting donations, so if anyone wishes to contribute, it would be greatly appreciated! The more we get the more the street children in South Africa benefit, bringing them hope, warmth, and smiles. Donations can be made through the office at St Pancras or via Trish Gribble, Sue Maloney, or any of the knitters you know.We cannot thank you all enough for your unwavering support; we know it will make a big difference, and we are looking forward to sharing this wonderful news with KAS!A special shout-out from Sue and me goes to all our knitters for their dedication, loyalty, and care for one another, as well as their determination to succeed! And let’s be honest—it was a lot of fun! The last five minutes felt endless, but we resisted the temptation to fast forward the clock! Ha ha!Here are a couple photos from those 24 hours, plus some from recent distributions in South Africa.Trish Gribble
<br>This will run from 10am on Wednesday 9th July until 10am on the Thursday and will be completed in shifts. Our normal Wednesday afternoon session will be incorporated into this.We want to raise as much as we possibly can to Support 'Knit a Square' South Africa who distribute blankets made from 8inch squares to orphaned and vulnerable Street Children.We also want to be able to give a donation towards the redecoration restoration project here at St Pancras as a ‘thank you’ for all their support. Therefore 75% of money raised will go to KAS South Africa and 25% will be given to the redecoration project here at St Pancras.Donation forms are available at various locations at the church centre or please contact us if you would like to make a donation online, or by cheque, etc.We know this is going to be tough so we would appreciate your prayers that we will be able to stay awake!!!If you would like to know more or make a donation please see Trish Gribble, Sue Maloney or any known member of the group.
