"KNIT FOR NOWT"    A  charitable service 

THERAPY HAND PUPPETS

AND WORRY MONSTERS

​

Knit-for-Nowt is a charitable service based in Yorkshire.  It appeals for  knitted, crocheted, or sewn hand puppets and "worry monsters", which are used by therapists to help children suffering from abuse, neglect, bereavement or other serious problems. There is a huge need for these.  They are made by a dedicated team of volunteer knitters/makers and then donated to Social Work teams and Children's therapists right across the UK.

On this site you'll find details of what we can provide.
