addiChristmas – a donation for every sold needle
With the purchase of an addiChristmas needle, you can add a little Christmas spirit all year round. We donate €0.50 of the proceeds per needle to the Balthasar children's hospice in Olpe.
Let's knit together and do something good!
At addi, we always endeavour not only to produce high-quality knitting needles and crochet hooks, but also to do our bit for society. It is therefore very important to us to support children and their families in difficult times.
With every addiChristmas needle, you are helping us to ensure that the Balthasar Children's and Youth Hospice can continue its important work of providing children and their families with a loving environment, medical care and emotional support.

The Balthasar children's and youth hospice in Olpe
The diagnosis that a child is terminally ill changes everything. The family structure is thrown off balance, the couple's relationship is put to the test, siblings are confronted with the topic of dying and grieving at an early age.
To ensure that families are not alone on this difficult journey, Germany's first children's hospice, the Balthasar Children's and Youth Hospice, opened in Olpe in 1998. Here, families with a child suffering from a life-shortening illness can find a "temporary second home" from the moment of diagnosis.
From experienced nursing professionals and trained bereavement counsellors to therapists and hospital clowns, everyone helps to make the time for the sick child, its siblings and parents as good and meaningful as possible - with joy, joie de vivre and many wonderful moments. Balthasar" relies on support for this, as around half of the total costs have to be financed from donations.
More information about the hospice can be found here (German).
