Knit and crochet bees for young carers

Since 1996 Honeypot has been working to enhance the lives of young carers aged 5-12 years by providing respite breaks and on-going outreach support. In the UK nationwide, we give young carers a break from demanding and stressful responsibilities at home and provide a safe, nurturing environment where children at risk can develop their full potential.

Our amazing Honeypot knitted bees are now being used not only in the community to raise awareness and funds for Honeypot, but are also being placed in the children’s memory bags! The bees are placed in the children’s memory bags which they receive at the end of their annual residential respite break. The bees can then be hung up at home to help them smile and remember that they have a Honeypot respite break to look forward to, when they are looking after someone they love.

We also take the bees out about in the local community to raise awareness and funds for Honeypot. 

All shapes or sizes are welcome! We ask for bees with loops so that they can be displayed somewhere at home or event used as a Christmas tree decoration.
