Philip Laker is on a mission to spread warmth and hope—one stitch at a time.
With a deep passion for crafting beautiful crochet hats, cinch sacks, and more, Philip has turned his talent into a powerful act of kindness. Partnering with the Petrolia Lions, he regularly delivers handmade items to cancer patients at a hospital in London.

Having once been a patient himself, Philip understands the comfort a small gesture can bring. Over the years, he has donated more than 100 handcrafted hats, each one a symbol of care, resilience, and community support. His work not only gives back to those who once supported him but also inspires hope in those currently facing their own battles.

You can also support Philip’s mission by purchasing his crocheted creations at The Olde Post Office & Gift Shoppe in Petrolia. Every purchase helps continue his journey of giving.

Thank you, Philip, for your incredible generosity and compassion. You’re making a difference—one hat at a time.
