Volunteer

Thank you for your interest in volunteering for Knitted Knockers UK.

Our knockers are made to order and we don’t hold stock or accept donations of knockers.

Individual Knitters living in England, Wales or Scotland, who are experienced at working in the round (using DPNs or circular needles) can apply. We don’t operate through knitting groups.

All applicants will be required to

• have an individual Facebook account and use the Messenger App. We use these to communicate with our volunteers
• agree not to share KKUK patterns outside of the charity
• upload photographs showing their completed items worked in the round. (If you are not experienced at working in the round you should aim to become proficient in this skill before you apply, because in order to progress you must be able to provide evidence for this).
• produce 2 test knockers to a required standard
• once they have become an approved knitter, commit to completing at least 3 orders in the first 6 months and 4 orders per year thereafter, not going more than 6 months without taking an order. Orders must be completed within 14 days

If you would like to support Knitted Knockers UK in a non knitting capacity please email applications@kkuk.org.uk with details of how you would like to help.
