Our History
The Crochet Club of London was founded in March 2002 by Patty Attkins. She had sent a letter to the local newspaper inviting “other crochet enthusiasts to make blankets for charitable organizations in London”. Funds for the start-up year were donated by the Rotary Club of London. The Club became a registered charity in 2003. In 2008, the Club was awarded the Pillar “Community Impact Award”.
Approximately 18 people responded to Patty’s initial letter. Today the Club consists of approximately 140+ members, of all ages and ability. The Crochet Club has no paid employees, and is a strictly volunteer-driven, non-denominational organization.
