Heart Art

This year the British Heart Foundation are celebrating their 50th birthday and of course Valentine's day is fast approaching......so to celebrate Knit Nottingham are holding a fun crafty event: Heart Art at Davenports shop of originality. We will be there from 11am - 3pm on Saturday 12 February. So drop by and help create a piece of crafty art. Don't panic though as the shop will be open as normal.

The British Heart Foundation was founded in 1961 by a group of medical professionals who were concerned about the increasing death rate from cardiovascular disease. They are the nation's heart charity. Their vision is a world where people don't die prematurely from heart disease. They'll achieve this through pioneering research, vital prevention activity and ensuring quality care and support for everyone living with heart disease. Their aim is to raise money to help fund extra research into the causes, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of heart and circulatory disease. In 1986, they become more involved in public education, and in 1990 moved into rehabilitation. To continue this life-saving work for future generations they need our support. To find out more about the work they do, visit their website at www.bhf.org.uk

It will be £1 to knit a square, 50% of the profits will go to the British Heart Foundation. We are aiming to make enough squares to fill the heart with knitted love.  If you can't make it on the day, knit a square and drop it into the shop before the end of February.
