Sometimes all someone needs is a reminder that they’re not alone – a little warmth, comfort, and kindness. That’s what Hug in a Shrug is all about: sharing handmade items as tokens of love and support, freely given when they’re needed most.

We meet once a month on the fourth Wednesday, 2pm – 3:30pm. It’s a friendly space to share patterns, tips, and tutorials for all kinds of projects. Whether you knit, crochet, or sew – everyone is welcome. Please bring along your own project or get involved with kindness projects supporting people within the local community.

No need to book, just come along with your craft equipment. Together, let’s spread kindness – one stitch at a time.

We are supported by Kinder Essex with donated or project-funded wool.
