KNITWEAR PROMO 2024
Our knitwear promotion is an annual campaign where Fella Hamilton selects a charity to support. From 16th to 30th May 2024; $1 from each knitwear piece sold was donated to this year's chosen charity Lifeline Australia.
Given Lifeline's crucial role in providing free 24 hour crisis support and suicide prevention services to all Australians in personal crisis, supporting this national charity was an easy decision.
"At Fella Hamilton we know that many of our customers and staff have a relative or friend who suffers from some form of mental illness, therefore this cause touches so many people within our business" says Sharon Hamilton
