Welcome to the The People’s Friend Love Darg 2024!

The Love Darg is “The People’s Friend”’s very own charitable appeal.

Its name comes from an old Scots phrase meaning “work done for love”, and throughout its long life it has stayed true to that founding principle.

History of the Love Darg

The Love Darg began in 1885 as a Grand Exhibition and Bazaar of Juvenile Industry to raise funds for a cot in the Children’s Ward of Dundee Royal Infirmary.

It then developed into a nationwide charity appeal that has seen “Friend” readers make and donate thousands of gifts of blankets, socks, gloves, hats, scarves and many more much-appreciated warm items over the years.

The Love Darg returns for 2024 with charity partner Knit For Peace.
