Charity & Fundraising
In the United Kingdom
In addition to what we contribute to environmental improvement projects, Little Fingy donates 5% of the net value of everything it sells in the UK to:
- Cancer Research UK
(Registered Charity Number 1089464)
http://www.cancerresearchuk.org/
- Projects in the Andean villages where the knitters live. We make this donation to say ‘Thank you’ for their hard work and to act as an incentive to keep up the good work. The money is for improving the quality of life for the knitters and their families by improving community facilities in their villages. Each year we ask the knitters how they want the money to be spent.
