First stitches
For many, crochet was brand new. Their first project was a scrunchie they could wear and say, “I made this.”

Words from the people who were there
Sometimes, giving back isn’t about how much you have, but about what you’re willing to share. Watching these teenagers learn, ask questions, try again and slowly get the hang of it reminded me of how I started too.
Dee’s CrocheCrochet facilitator, 2026 campFor some of them, crochet was completely new, so seeing them turn what they had learnt into something they could actually wear and say “I made this” was such a beautiful moment.
On the first projectDee’s Croche, facilitatorKindness is something that needs to be acted upon and shown to people. When we come together, we can do more to prevent children from ending up on the streets.
