AN APPEAL for materials with natural fibres has been made in a bid to help the animals affected by the Australian bush fires.

Jacqui Finch, who is an Australian, is part of the Animal Rescue Craft Guild and is the UK group and UK crafter for the Australia Animal rescue effort.

She has appealed for donations of flannelette sheets, cotton bedding or T-shirts.

These will then be used to create pouch liners for the Joeys and small marsupials.

Jacqui is also acting as a drop-off point in Bordon for anyone else who would like to make any goods to send over to Australia.
