🧶🧵 HELLO NOVEMBER! IT’S TIME TO GET CRAFTY! 🧡

Today marks the start of Alzheimer’s Research UK’s Knit, Sew & Crochet Every Day in November challenge, and Charlotte and Rachel at the Barley Mow are getting involved!

But we’d love YOU to join us too! Whether you’re an experienced knitter, a keen crocheter, a sewing enthusiast or a complete beginner, why not give it a go this November?

There are lots of ways you can support our fundraiser:

Get crafty! Join us in knitting, sewing or crocheting throughout November.

Make a donation! Every contribution, big or small, helps fund vital dementia research. You can donate through our fundraising page here: https://raise.ing/qzvkql6okvvz9

Donate your handmade creations! Have something you’ve knitted, sewn or crocheted that you’d be happy to donate? We’d love to include it in our charity sale!

Come along to our charity sale! On Saturday 28th and Sunday 29th November, we’ll be selling a selection of handmade goodies at the Barley Mow, with ALL proceeds going to Alzheimer’s Research UK.

You don’t have to be crafty to get involved, and every little bit of support makes a difference!

If you’d like to take part, donate something for the sale or find out more, just drop us a message or pop in to see us.

Let’s get crafting! 🧡

This November, Rachel and Charlotte from the Barley Mow Inn are knitting, sewing, or crocheting every day for Alzheimer’s Research UK. We’re taking part in memory of Mary & Tony, who lived with Alzheimer’s disease, and to help raise funds for vital dementia research for the one million people ...

AUTUMN CHARITY EVENTS AT THE BARLEY MOW

As we head into autumn, we have two charity events coming up at the Barley Mow, and we’d love your support! Both causes are close to our hearts, and we’re proud to be doing our bit to help raise money for some very important charities.

☕ MACMILLAN COFFEE MORNING – SATURDAY 24TH OCTOBER

Come along to the Barley Mow between 10am and 12 noon for coffee, cakes and a good cause! All proceeds will go to Macmillan Cancer Support.

🍰 Cakes for the stall can be brought to the pub by 10am on the day, and raffle prizes can be dropped off at the shop beforehand.

We’re all affected by cancer, and we can all do something to help. 💚

🧶KNIT, SEW & CROCHET FOR ALZHEIMER’S RESEARCH UK! 🧶

Following swiftly on the heels of our MacMillan Coffee Morning - 10 to 12 on Saturday 24 October - we move into November and start raising funds for Alzheimers Research UK. This is a cause very close to our hearts as the disease contributed to Tony’s death.

Charlotte and Rachel are taking part in the Alzheimer’s Research UK’s ‘Knit, Sew & Crochet Every Day in November’ challenge.

Please get involved!

🧶 1. Get crafting! Knit, sew or crochet something throughout November and join us in raising awareness and money for Alzheimer’s research.

💷 2. Make a donation. If crafting isn’t your thing, donate directly to our fundraiser here: https://raise.ing/qzvkql6okvvz9

🧵 3. Donate your own handmade crafted items. We hope to boost our fund-raising with a charity sale in the pub at the end of November. Just drop us a message or pop in to the pub.

🎁 4. Come along and buy something! On Saturday 28th and Sunday 29th November, we’ll be selling a selection of knitted, sewn and crocheted items at the Barley Mow, with ALL proceeds going to Alzheimer’s Research UK.

Every bit of support in whatever guise will help!

Supporting research into this devastating disease could make a real difference to other families affected by Alzheimer’s.
