About This Cause
Knit For Peace is our newest initiative and it is based on an observation that knitting provides benefits both to the knitter and the recipient. Knit for Peace started by encouraging women and men from different, often historically hostile, communities to come together informally to knit. Based on our experience of developing Knit for Peace over the last few years, we have learned that knitting is extremely important as an activity that can be carried out right into extreme old age and helps improve long-term health. As well as encouraging everyone to knit, we receive daily donations of hand-knitted clothes from knitters all over the UK. We never sell the clothes, we send them to where they are needed. We send out tens of thousands of items a year, giving to a diverse range of services, such as refugee centers, homeless shelters, and hospitals. Good Gifts Catalogue is a radical concept in giving, employing charitable donations to buy imaginative gifts like 'goats for peace' and acres of threatened rain forest. The soaring success of the idea has not only generated many millions of pounds, but also a slew of imitations. However, Good Gifts remains the catalogue uniquely committed to the principle of actually buying the gifts stated, rather than using the income for general purposes.
