FORMER Fremantle councillor Bill Massie is putting together a volunteer group to knit items for people sleeping rough, and is looking for donations to kick it off.

Mr Massie said the group would meet at Two Dogs Laughing Cafe on South Street in Beaconsfield, and the volunteers would decide the time once they’d figured out what worked best with their schedules.

“Times can be flexible to fit in with participants’ own schedules,” he said.

“What is mostly required is donations of wool, knitting needles, crochet hooks and patterns.

“There is a plastic crate for donations at the cafe and the [council] depot Re-Use shop where I volunteer.”

For more information on how to sign up, contact Mr Massie on 0418 949 821, and for a pick-me-up, check out some of his poems at thefiresidepoet.com
