Bag2School clothing collection!
Enjoy a pre-Christmas clear out this November and help raise funds for Conductive Education Bristol!
Bag2School is the UK’s leading textile recycler and fundraiser working with s
chools and since its inception in 2001 it has now paid out over £27 million.
As well as raising vitally needed funds for CEBristol, it also helps the environment by helping to divert unwanted textiles away from landfill. A recent DEFRA report has shown that textile collection schemes are helping to reduce the volume of textiles discarded as municipal solid waste. However it is a fact that as a nation we still send 350,000 tonnes of textiles to landfill every year.
By getting involved in our Bag2School collection, you have an opportunity to sort through your cupboards and wardrobes and donate unwanted textiles in the bag provided –
- adults’ and children’s clothes
- shoes (tied together please)
- hats
- belts
- handbags
- soft toys
(please refer to http://uk.bag2school.com/ for full details). In addition to raising much needed funds it will also raise awareness amongst the children of the benefits of recycling and reuse.
If you fill the donation bag and still have more then you can use any other bag to donate your items and don’t forget to ask grandparents, friends and neighbours to have a sort out as well!
Bag2School will be collecting on December 6th so please bring your bags to your childs group on Thursday 30th November and Tuesday 5th December . Please collect as much as you can to help us raise as much as possible.
Thankyou for helping us with this unique fundraising opportunity.
