Key Highlights of the past decade:
· Over 40,000 individual knitted knockers made.
· Over 100 dedicated and highly skilled volunteer knitters and crocheters.
· Supported by King Cole, leading brand of knitting patterns and high quality wool and yarns since 1935.
· Attendance at hundreds of events spreading awareness
"We are extremely grateful for the dedicated support of our knitters, volunteers, donors and community partners who have made the past 10 years possible," said Deb Wright, Charity Chair. "This milestone shows what we can achieve when we work together."
Women can order knockers through the website www.knittedknockersuk.com and they can choose bra size, knitted/crocheted/aqua, colour, nipple or no nipple. The Charity also provides Display Packs of knockers in different sizes, styles and colours, together with information leaflets, posters and business cards for breast cancer clinics, GPs and stores that sell mastectomy bras.
Anniversary Mementos and Support
All Knitted Knockers are provided free of charge. The Charity relies on donations to help it do that and is solely run by volunteers, who make the knockers, attend events and give talks around the country. In celebration of this 10th Anniversary milestone, there are commemorative branded tote bags and keyrings now on sale as well as various hand-made mini knocker keyrings and notecards through the website shop which help raise funds: www.knittedknockersuk.com/shop

Knitted Knockers UK is a registered charity committed to providing free of charge, knitted and crocheted breast prostheses for women in the UK who have undergone a mastectomy or lumpectomy. Women who have undergone surgery are provided with silicone breast prosthesis by the NHS, which some have found to be uncomfortable, heavy and may rub against the scars left after surgery, causing rashes and pain.
