Lingerie Please Wants You To Recycle Your Textiles
Lingerie Please have been working with ‘Bag It Up’ to recycle bra’s for charity in order to help raise fund for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance. We have received a huge amount of support and would like to take this oppurtunity to thank everyone who has got involved.
Due to the huge amount of success from this initial campaign ‘Bag It Up’ have requested that we help them with more charity appeals.
We currently support the following charities with our Bra Appeal:
The Yorkshire Air Ambulance, Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance and Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance.
We hope to further extend our support through the donation of all textiles products to aid these charities:
Wigan Warriors Community Foundation, Whizz-Kidz, the All Ireland Air Ambulance, Thames Valley and Chiltern Air Ambulance, the Yorkshire Air Ambulance, Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance, and the Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance.
It is estimated that up to 3/4 of the public’s recyclable textiles and shoes are just being thrown away, which means that they end up in landfill, which just serves to impact on our environment. By getting involved and donating your textiles you will be helping several causes because everything, where physically possible, is re-used or recycled.
Look out for the large textile banks that are placed at supermarkets, pubs, and community sites throughout the country. Please visit www.bagitup.org.uk and use the postcode locator at the top of the page to find out where your nearest textile bank is located, and which charity you will be supporting by donating your unwanted clothes, paired shoes and household textiles.
To date Bag It Up has donated nearly £1.5million to charity, and with your help we can make this figure even higher!
THANK YOU.
