If you’re unfamiliar with its history, “The People’s Friend” Love Darg campaign has been running since 1885.

As this is a nationwide event, “Friend” readers from all over have donated thousands of gifts and pounds to many charities over the years.

This year, our focus was on Cats Protection!

Here at the office, we held a wonderful knitting afternoon for all the staff! The aim was to raise awareness and donations for Cats Protection, as well as knit some beautiful woollen blankets and a few cuddly mice for our furry friends.

I spent the afternoon filming all the action and I’ve edited this little behind-the-scenes look for you all.

I hope you enjoy our lunchtime antics as much as we did!
