Groups started for local women

The Peninsula Women's Health Centre has started a multi-cultural coffee morning and a knitting group for local women.

The coffee morning is for women of all ages and cultural backgrounds who would like to get to know other women in the area.

Community development worker Ms Kate Bradfield said the centre especially encouraged women from multi-cultural and indigenous backgrounds to come and share their culture.

"It is a social get together over morning tea and is a great opportunity to meet women especially if you are new to the area or feel isolated," she said.

The second group, Wrap With Love, is a voluntary organisation that provides knitted wraps to the needy, homeless and refugees.

They have provided over a quarter of a million wraps since 1992.

"Our Wrap With Love group meets and knits the squares and sews them into the wraps," said Ms Bradfield.

"It is a fun and social morning and we can even teach you how to knit."

The groups are free, a morning tea is provided and a gold coin donation would be appreciated.
