The Greencastle Community Centre Knitting Group continues to thrive, making a significant impact on the local community.
This dedicated group of needle workers have been busy creating warm and cosy items for the most vulnerable members of the locality.
Knitting for the Littlest Ones
The group have been knitting cosy hats, boots, and mittens to bring warmth and comfort to premature and newborn babies at Letterkenny University Hospital.

Community Collaboration
In a fantastic display of community spirit, the knitting group has partnered with Scoil Eoghain. The school’s pupils have generously donated their hand knitted squares, which the group have transformed into colourful and tactile fidget blankets and lap blankets. These items are now brightening the days of residents at the Alzheimer’s unit in Carndonagh Hospital.
“It’s so rewarding to know that something we’ve made with our own hands can bring comfort to someone, especially the tiniest of babies or those living with Alzheimer’s,” said Monica Kitson, founding member.
“Every stitch we knit is a small act of kindness, and it’s amazing to be part of something that makes a real difference in our community”.
