Initial calculations suggest we need over 4000 strips - so please get knitting! (see flyer)
For a 6" x 1" strip - Using 4mm knitting needles and double knitting wool (golden yellow or black). Cast on 40 stitches.
Knit 10 Rows. Cast off and sew in ends.
YOU CAN BREW IT!

THE PILGRIMAGE OF HOPE LIFTS UP ST WILFRID’S CENTRE’S CROSS
In the middle of November 2024, St Wilfrid’s Centre were asked if they could make a large wooden cross for the procession marking the start of the Jubilee Year.
Although most organisations might have been very concerned by the timescale and size of the project, St Wilfrid’s Centre, as always, rose to the challenge and set about designing the cross.
The workshop team and clients put aside the existing orders for mediboxes. These are made at St Wilfrid’s Centre and distributed around the country to help the work of drug support organisations.
They then began constructing and sanding the cross.
Staff and clients were very proud of what they had achieved
Three reasons to support us
1. We're more than just a building
Without us, many of our clients would have nowhere else to go for advice, support and friendship.
2. We're experienced
We’ve been running since 1991. We know and understand the needs of our clients and can provide tailored specialist support.
3. We spend wisely
Our running costs are kept to a minimum, to ensure that every penny you donate goes where it is needed.
