Support US
There are many ways to support The Longest Yarn and help us continue our mission. Whether you buy items, create handmade pieces, donate through our fundraising page, or participate in our auctions, every contribution makes a difference. All funds raised go toward the logistics and running of our exhibitions, ensuring we can share these powerful stories with the world. Any surplus is donated to Veterans’ charities, so your support has an even greater impact. Thanks to your generous support, we’ve already teamed up with the Forces Veterans Association (FVA) to sponsor the restoration of a canal boat—a project that will further honour and support our Veterans.
Thank you for being part of our journey!
