Record breaking year for the small Made For Maggie’s team which backs cancer care centre
The ‘Made for Maggie’s Fife’ team has had its most successful year ever, raising a record breaking £19,890.
They money came from sales of members’ quality homemade knitted goods, with all proceeds going directly to support the centre in Kirkcaldy.
‘Made for Maggie’s Fife’ has been running since 2014 and started from an idea to sell a few knitted baby items to raise funds for our cancer care centre.
Lynne Napier and her team are at Victoria Hospital every month and as regulars at the popular Kingsgate Small Business Market in Dunfermline. They also sell their items through their Facebook page ‘Made for Maggie’s Fife.’
After a busy festive period, they have turned their attention to Easter and are hard at work knitting chicks and baskets to fill with chocolate eggs. They would be very grateful for any donation of wrapped chocolate eggs - or other Easter chocolates - to help. They can be dropped into the centre.
Lynne said: “Our small group of volunteers would like to say a huge thank you to each and every person who supported our fundraising efforts in 2025. We are delighted to have raised such an amazing amount in support of Maggie’s in Fife. We truly appreciate all of our kind knitters and crafters who keep us well stocked with a wonderful selection of baby cardigans, hats, mitts, booties and blankets.
“Our ‘Made for Maggie’s Fife’ stalls can be found monthly at the Victoria Hospital and Small Business Market, in Dunfermline. We have lots of lovely customers who regularly pay us a visit to see what goodies we have to offer. I think it’s fair to say that they are never disappointed, as our stock is constantly changing.”
Natalie Fairfoul, Maggie’s Fife fundraiser paid tribute to the group’s sterling efforts.
She said: “We are so grateful to Lynne and her wonderful team for their hard work and dedication over the years. ‘Made for Maggie’s Fife’ really does play a big role in allowing us to remain to be here for those with cancer and their friends and family, in our community. I’d like to thank everyone involved, from stall volunteers, knitters, vendors and customers, for supporting this wonderful enterprise and contributing to this tremendous amount.”
