Blankets for Ipswich
Founded as the East of England branch of Craft Forward CIC's national initiative, Blankets for Ipswich connects local volunteers through knitting and crochet to support vulnerable families. Amy and Azita coordinate the project, which collects handmade squares from community members to create warming blankets for Lighthouse Women's Aid and Suffolk Refugee Support. The intergenerational project operates through local events and established craft groups, with Steam House Cafe serving as the main collection point.
