Blankets For Bristol

Knit & Natter & Give Back

Community is at the heart of Lounge, and we love hearing about the amazing things our sites are doing to bring that to life. In October, Impero Lounge launched The Big Knit in partnership with Craft Forward CIC and Blankets for Bristol — a wonderful initiative spreading warmth and comfort by crafting blankets for those in need across the city.

Their Wednesday Knit and Natter group has been busy, creating an incredible eight blankets from 280 individual squares in just one month. A huge well done to everyone involved!
