November Knitting Challenge 2026

Help me reach my goal of £150

I'm knitting everyday in November for Dementia UK

This November, I'm taking on the Dementia UK November Knitting Challenge by knitting 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. 💙

For Mum and Dad

Saturday 10th Oct
I lost my darling Dad  in 2022 to dementia and related issues. Of course, in reality, I’d lost the proud man that I loved so much many years earlier when dementia took over his life. 
I now have my dear Mum in a care home with dementia too. She is well cared for but, again, is not the strong woman that brought me and my brother up. 
This is why I now say that I hate dementia with a passion
It’s what drives me to do this challenge - this will be my third year. I love knitting so it’s not a big hardship to do a bit each day for a month. And I set what I think is a modest target in the hope that my small effort will go some way to helping Dementia UK to help other families through their rough times, like my family has gone through. 
Anything you can donate would be hugely appreciated. K x
