Meadowbank Crochet was established in 2026 as a Not for Profit, Voluntary Organization (with a Constitution & Governing Board of Trustees) to help people who are staying in the hospital or care home to feel a little cosier. The goal of this project is simply to make and donate hats.
All donated hats are:
Soft, lightweight and suitable for sensitive skin
Handmade with care using new, clean materials
Designed to provide warmth and a small sense of comfort
Sized to fit adults (though I can make custom sizes if needed)
Ideal for patients undergoing treatment, recovering from surgery, or experiencing hair loss
About our hats
Our Donations - who we have donated to:
On the 8th of October 2026 we donated 60 hats to St Peter’s Hospital, this time coordinating again through their Patient Experience office who will make sure to distribute the hats to the wards and patients that will most benefit from them! With the cold weather coming, they are going to be giving some of our Beanie Hats to elderly or vulnerable patients being discharged so they stay cosy and warm when they go home! Our donation will make a real difference. For an elderly patient leaving hospital on a cold winter’s day, receiving a warm hat is not only practical, but also a wonderful gesture of care and compassion.
How lovely! Thank you Lucy and team for everything you do for the St Peter’s Hospital Patients!
St Peter’s Hospital = 60 hats donated!
On the 4th of September 2026 we donated 60 more hats to Frimley Park Hospital, this time coordinating it through their PALS office who will make sure to distribute the hats to the wards that will most benefit from them! Thank you Gemma and team for everything you do for the Frimley Patients!
They have also asked if we can support their postnatal ward by making cannula covers for their babies! So we are going to start learning how to do that! More to come!
