Cheery Chicks from Pat

We’re delighted that so many people have got on board with our ‘Knit a Chick’! On Thursday Vitality Unit patient Pat brought in this beautifully displayed basket full of chicks all filled with crème eggs.

Pat & Chicks

Pat is no stranger to St. Rocco’s. She has volunteered in our Golden Square shop for several years, where she spotted the basket for the chicks, and she has also supported our young people’s project RocON!

“When I was diagnosed with my illness in August, it was so reassuring to know that I would be able to come to St. Rocco’s and find the support that I need,” said Pat.

Pat really enjoys attending craft sessions at the Vitality Centre on Thursdays. Whilst she describes herself as a ‘not very good knitter’, when she spotted the Knit a Chick campaign she wanted to get involved and make something special to help raise funds for patient care at St. Rocco’s.

We think you’ll agree that Pat’s chicks look very special indeed!

If you’d like to join in and ‘Knit a Chick’, the pattern is available here.
