What is Certified Sustainable?
Our pledge to you is that we are constantly striving to create a better space for people and the planet, with the goal that together, we can tip the balance and achieve this vision.
We ensure that everyone we work with is Certified Sustainable, which means that our suppliers undergo rigorous scrutinisation to ensure that they meet our standards. This is our promise to you to make sure we can craft a better space for everyone.
How it works
How it works
Being certified sustainable means that we have taken the necessary steps of ensuring that we are creating a positive impact on people and the plant, at every step.
We ask the difficult questions that people don’t want to ask, to make sure that our suppliers and everyone we work with is treated fairly and has access to adequate working conditions.
All of our natural yarn is Vegan and biodegradable, our Acrylics are all OEKO-Tex certified.
The Knitmed foundation’s mission is to kick start the healing process of someone suering from trauma. This trauma may have been caused due to a demise or an illness or an emotional shock that has aected their mental and emotional state.
Our method of healing would be to use a form of craft, for instance, crochet, macrame, knitting or amigurumi as a source of therapy to precipitate that healing process.
Our latest research which we have undertaken with our research partners Kantar (2021) has shown us how many people (are willing to / currently don’t) use a form of crafting.
“Our aim is to build on this research and use crafting as a form of therapy and as a healing agent within our development programmes.”
Our Programmes
Our Programmes
The development programmes we undertake will aim to foster a community spirit and where there is an active community lifestyle setting, we will seek to use group crafting sessions to deepen the bonds of that community.
We will aim to enable people who are struggling with trauma and ailing mental health to build a support network so as to avoid isolation and to be able to reach out to someone if they need to, for help. They can use our crafting classes as an outlet to find some release and some peace.
