• Making and donating items to sell and for enrichment for cats in our care.
• This opportunity is open to individuals or small groups
• Option to join our Knit & Natter afternoons at the hospital

What we are looking for:

• Knowledge and interest in knitting
• Eye for detail and creative flair
• Flexible approach to volunteering
• Ability to work within Blue Cross processes with the support of our Knitting Groups Coordinator

Benefits to you:

• You’ll be helping Blue Cross to help pets have happy, healthy lives
• Participate in raising funds within your local community
• Share your skills within a charity environment
• The opportunity to make a real difference in a friendly team environment
• Have fun and meet new people from a variety of backgrounds
