I wasn’t sure where to put this so hope this is right.
Like everyone else, I have been so upset by all the terrible fires ravaging Australia for the past few weeks. As most of you may know, my DS and his family live there and our GD is travelling around the country also. I feel so desperately sorry for all the people who have lost everything, cannot imagine what it must be like. It has also been so upsetting to see all the animals that have been lost, thousands of them, some species in danger of extinction. I know there are lots of ways we can help the people by donations etc but I was heartened to realise we can also help the animals.
I have just joined a Facebook group called - UK Crafters for Australian Animal Rescue Group - a bit long winded. People are knitting, sewing or crocheting various items - pouches, wraps, etc - to be sent to Australia to be used for rescued animals. There are different hubs around the UK where the items can be sent and they will then be despatched to wherever they are needed.
I thought this was a great idea, so am passing it on. I will start knitting some Joey pouches today, so easy and quick to make. Thanks for reading 🙂
