A shop in Ramsey is collecting donations of soft fabrics for animals injured from bushfires in Australia.

They are sending them onto a woman in Carlisle, who has launched a fundraising appeal to help koalas, kangaroos and other types of animals badly burned.

The Snug on Parliament Street in Ramsey are accepting donations of soft acrylics, such as t shirts and bedsheets for bandages, bat and bird nests until 17th January.

It's been reported that a billion animals will have died in the bushfires and those that make it through the flames could perish in the coming weeks.
