November Knitting Challenge 2026

Help me reach my goal of £100

I'm crocheting everyday in November for Dementia UK

This November, I'm taking on the Dementia UK November Knitting Challenge by crocheting every day and raising funds to help ensure no family faces dementia alone.

Dementia affects millions of people, changing lives in ways that can be overwhelming and heartbreaking. That's why I'm supporting Dementia UK, the specialist dementia nursing charity. Their Admiral Nurses provide expert advice, practical support and compassionate guidance to families when they need it most.

Just £33 could fund a dementia specialist Admiral Nurse to spend an hour supporting a family, helping them understand their options, cope with difficult situations and feel less alone.

Thank you for helping me make a difference this November. Your support means so much. 💙

Why I'm Crocheting Every Day This November for Dementia UK

Sunday 18th Oct
This November, I'm picking up my hook every single day for the Dementia UK November Knitting Challenge, and I want to tell you why.

I care for someone I love who has mixed dementia. I've watched it change things in ways I never could have prepared for, the forgetting, the confusion, the moments where someone you know so well suddenly feels just out of reach. I've sat in appointments, managed medications, advocated when her voice couldn't carry far enough, and held the weight of decisions no one should have to make alone.

But I'm one of the lucky ones. I found my way to support, to people who helped me understand what was happening and what I could do. Too many families don't get that. They face dementia without a guide, without someone to help them navigate the hardest moments.

That's where Dementia UK's Admiral Nurses come in. They're specialist dementia nurses who provide expert advice, practical support and compassionate guidance to families when they need it most. Just £33 funds an hour of that support, an hour that could change everything for a family in crisis.

So every day in November, I'll be crocheting. Not just to raise money, but to show up the way I've had to show up, consistently, even when it's hard, even when I'm tired. Because that's what caring for someone with dementia looks like, and no family should have to do it alone.

Your donation, however small, helps make sure that when a family gets that devastating news, there's someone there to hold their hand through it.

Thank you for helping me make a difference. 💙
