We are working alongside the charity 'Against Breast Cancer' in raising funds through our textile clothing banks. Every year in the UK about 1.5 million tonnes of unwanted clothing ends up in landfill sites. The clothing will be sold to raise vital funds that are needed to continue the research into improving early detection and increasing survival rates after breast cancer diagnosis. The Clothing
Bank is a revolutionary charity recycling plan that triples the value of your donation when compared with traditional door to door collections. The Clothing Bank scheme is completely free to use. If you are looking to hosting a clothing bank you'll have no environmental concerns with this scheme. When you request a Clothes Bank, you will be saving the clothes from going into landfill sites, you will support the small businesses in the UK, Europe and Africa who resell them, and you'll be raising vital funds for breast cancer research.
