The Naval Children's Charity is looking for keen knitters to knit small Rabbits for us.
Knitted Rabbits accompany the book, Zoe and the Time Rabbit, original children’s literature written and illustrated by Sarah McMenemy.
We send these books and knitted figures out to help the children understand the long separations from a parent that they can experience in a Naval family.
As well as knitting for us we would love it if you could spread the word around other knitters / groups as demand for the books and therefore the knitted Rabbits is high.
About Naval Children's Charity
We help around 2000 children directly each year and many thousands more through our resources and work with communities and other organisations.
We believe that…to be the child of someone who is, or has been, in the Naval Service should be a positive and enhancing experience – something to be borne with pride. For those children where life is more difficult, we are there to help.
