Craft groups invited to take part in charity challenge

Craft groups from Slough are being asked to take on a charity knitting challenge to help raise money for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust.

Club members dedicated to the craft are being invited to make legwarmers along with thousands of home knitters to help raise money for the good cause.

Senior corporate and trust fundraising manager for the charity, Sue Piper, said: "We're hoping hundreds of wonderful legwarmers will be knitted and these will then be sold by one of our corporate supporters, trampoline supplier Super Tramp, on our behalf to help raise money for us.

"Legwarmers are great for garden trampolinists as they help keep their ankles warm in the cooler months."

The Cystic Fibrosis Trust wishes to highlight the health benefits of bouncing to cystic fibrosis sufferers, of which there are around 10,000 in the UK.

Managing Director of Super Tramp, Chris Prentis, added: "Once the legwarmers are knitted we are asking people to send them back in so that they can be sold via our website with all proceeds going to the Cystic Fibrosis Trust, which is our charity of the year."
