Last winter, the Algarve Crochet and Knitting Group who meet at the Waterdog Bar in Armação de Pêra on a Tuesday morning from 10.30 - 12.30hrs, made a number of warm hats for the homeless and needy families. However, the group quickly realised that the need was far greater than initially anticipated. As a result, they have increased their target for this year and are asking for community support to meet it.

The group is seeking help in two ways:

  1. Yarn Donations – If you have any unwanted yarn, your donations would greatly assist in providing much-needed supplies for the project.
  2. Knitters and Crocheters – If you have the time and skills to help us make more hats, we would love for you to join us in this effort.



Donations (yarn or hats) can be dropped off at Waterdog Bar in Armação de Pêra or at Kit & Caboodle in Alcantarilha, or contact us on - (+351) 968 742 101 and we will arrange collection.

Please spread the word and invite friends to join our cause.

Together, we can bring warmth and comfort to those who need it most this winter.
