Knitting Hats for Premature Babies
Knitting Hats for Premature Babies
We had a dozen volunteers in our office on Monday, 9th February, knitting and crocheting hats and blankets for premature babies in hospitals around the country. We’ve got even more volunteers knitting at home and dropping them in to us.
If you are interested in helping out you can contact can drop in to the office on Mondays from 10:30 to 12:30 and meet some of the other crafters, or if you’d prefer to craft at home you can email Natasha and we can see about organising wool and patterns for you.
NOTE- Because these items are for premature babies it’s important to know that specific wool and patterns are used, to ensure the safety of the baby, but we are happy to provide both.
Volunteer Expo 2026
Running from 10am to 2pm on Thursday, February 26th and hosted in the Fairgreen Shopping Centre in the heart of Carlow, our Volunteer Expo is an opportunity for volunteers to meet with the various organisations that are helping their communities and for the organisations to let people know the important work they do, and how they can help. KCLR will also there, speaking with the organisations so even people who can’t make it on the day will be able to hear what the organisations are involved in.
The Expo is a great way to learn about volunteering, and about the many different ways you can get involved.
Below are some photos from previous Volunteer Expos.
