Knit for Purpose 2026: A micro-volunteering project
Knit for Purpose is back for 2026 – for the fourth year in a row! Join this Volunteering Canterbury microvolunteering project between Micro-Volunteering Day (15th April) and Knit in Public Day (13th June)!
Microvolunteering is bite-sized, on-demand, no-commitment actions that benefit a worthy cause.
You are invited to knit or crochet squares or strips of squares for blankets, which will be donated to those in need in our community through local organisations.
You can drop off your completed squares, strips or blankets until Friday 12th June 2026 at Christchurch Community House (213 Lichfield Street, Central City). Their opening hours are 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday.
To wrap things up, you are invited to join Volunteer Canterbury on Saturday 13th June 2026, for World Wide Knit in Public Day. We will come together to finish knitting and sewing as many blankets as we can!
