Jarrow group in call to arms to help raise cash for charity
Calling all knitters out there - this Jarrow group needs you!
A Jarrow group are looking to support a charity by creating parts of displays around South Tyneside.
Jarrow Mindset welcome people who knit and crochet to their Threads Of Friendship community sessions each Friday.
The group was created to allow people to continue their hobby surrounded by people who share the same interest.
Now they are looking to support a charity who produce displays across the borough.
The Jarrow group are asking for anyone who knits or crochets to help Alzheimer's Society as the charity prepares for Dementia Action Week.
Anyone who is able to create designs listed on Jarrow Mindset’s social media pages are encouraged to do so, either as part of the weekly sessions or at home before dropping them into the group.
The in-person sessions run from 10am until 12 noon each Friday at Jarrow Mindset’s site on Ellison Street in the town.
The idea will see ‘forget me knot’ flower displays across South Tyneside during Dementia Action week, which starts on Monday, May 18.
