Thinking back to when we were selling woolly hats in a heatwave! ☀️

Hoping all those handmade woollies are helping to keep little heads warm and snug today! ❄️ @WN_FEAST @NorwoodForum @wnorwoodlibrary #community #craft #knitting #babygifts

Positive news! 💥 We've seen the value #SocialPrescribing has had on reducing #loneliness for local people joining our craft groups and we're excited that the #nhs is committing to more @nhslambethccg https://t.co/8rwRFuGQeH

Loneliness, living alone and poor social connections are as bad for your health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. #ThingsThatAreBadForYourHealth #EndLoneloneliness

Great day celebrating the start of a new free resident-led #community #knitting project on the Lilford estate in #Brixton 💥 It was a full house with lots of laughter as residents came together to learn and share #creative skills @ProjectSmithLam @lambeth_council @JimDicksLambeth

We all love getting a #Christmas Card. This year, give your a neighbour a knock and deliver it by hand. It's a great way to get to know your neighbour, and could make a huge difference to the millions of people who spend the festive period on their own. #EndLoneliness

[Campaign to End Loneliness @EndLonelinessUK]

Small moments of connection, like saying 'hello', are proven to make a big difference to people who are #lonely. Christmas is a great excuse to start a chat. It could be someone down your street who you see everyday. You can help #EndLoneliness this #Christmas

[Campaign to End Loneliness @EndLonelinessUK]

This year feels like a turning-point. Thousands of people, businesses and organisations are fighting loneliness. There is still much to do but we hope that 2019 can be even bigger and better. Together we can #EndLoneliness https://t.co/wBl0LY6XIu

[The SpaceCraft @TheSpaceCraft1]

Feels v.odd to not be with all these lovely knitters today! We've packed our needles away for this year but are busy making #brixton plans for 2019! Thank you so much to @brixtonlibrary @ProjectSmithLam @nhslambethccg @pgtimebank ~ it's been great working with you this year!👏

We've VERY excited to be at the @hernehillmarket xmas fair TOMORROW selling our range of #handknitted baby #Christmas gifts ~ booties, hats, cardis, blankets + more. All lovingly knitted with love by local volunteers @hernehillforum @ProjectSmithLam #celebrateskills #shoplocal 🎄

[The SpaceCraft @TheSpaceCraft1]

We strongly believe in the benefits that #socialprescribing brings to local people and the NHS. We're proud to promote our free community projects through #Lambeth GPs and would love to be involved in more! ⁦@ProjectSmithLam⁩ ⁦@nhslambethccg⁩ https://t.co/axICxKqjFn
