Take part in our Comfort Blankets project

Knitting Together a Community of Care

It’s Norfolk Creativity and Wellbeing Week, and we’re delighted to launch this special project in partnership with Norfolk Knitters and Stitchers to support patients at Priscilla Bacon Lodge.

We’re inviting local knitters to create colourful 6-inch (corner-corner) squares which will be sewn together into vibrant, handmade blankets to bring comfort and warmth to patients at the Lodge. These will help to bring a homely touch to their surroundings, and mean so much to the patients and families who will receive them.

If you crochet, we would love you to make full blankets rather than squares, please.

Whether you knit a single square, or many, or create a full blanket, you will be helping us to knit together a community of care.

We’re also starting a monthly Knit and Natter Group at Priscilla Bacon Lodge and would love you to join us! More details on this page.

How To Get Involved

Please download our Comfort Blankets Information Pack below. This explains what size and colours we’d like you to make your squares or blankets.

Completed work can be dropped off or sent to Priscilla Bacon Lodge, or taken to several collection points listed in the pack.

“Our experience of being gifted this blanket was incredible.
It was so uplifting and made such a huge difference to my memories of those last days with Dad.”
