AGE UK Oxfordshire is backing a campaign that will see people knit their way to raising funds for the organisation.

The charity is again backing the 'Big Knit' this year after raising £6,367.25 from 25,469 hats last year for the information and advice helpline.

Involving volunteer knitting groups making hats which are then sold with Innocent smoothie drinks, 25p from each is given to AgeUk.

As well as raising funds the initiative brings people and communities together.
