Firstly, thank you to everyone who have already made generous donations of beanies, blankets, sleeping bags and knitted squares - hundreds of them!
Thanks to the Salvos, your donations are already hitting the streets of Perth and keeping those on the street a little warmer.
Next Thursday 27 July, ABC Radio Perth's Rug Up winter appeal will culminate in a live Knit In event in the foyer of ABC studios in East Perth.
We need your help to stitch the squares together to make rugs or come and finish your little project off to donate.
The catch? We need an army of knitters from 5am!
Maybe I can convince you to register? All the ABC characters you know and love will be there. Bealo with his dulcet headlines, super producer the Slim but Savage One will make you laugh, and Mornings presenter Nadia Mitsopolous will bring a selection of yummy home baked treats. Plus, live music from the Salvation Army band, a warm cuppa, a 'Special Stan Toastie' and a free ABC goodie bag to take away only for those early 5am early birds!
You in? Register your place below and I can't wait to meet you.
Stan Shaw
Your ABC Radio Perth Breakfast presenter
