Bag 2 School is back after Easter
We
are pleased to announce that the PTA has organised a textile collection with
Bag2School in order to raise funds for more playground equipment.
Bag2School are
the UK’s leading textile recycler and fundraiser working with schools and since
its inception in 2001 they have now paid out over £10 million.
As
well as raising vitally needed funds for our school, 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 1,081,000 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 – this can include adults’ and children’s clothes, shoes (tied
together please), hats, belts, bags, soft toys, curtains and bedding (not
duvets or pillows). We will receive £500 per tonne or £0.50/kg which will be a great boost for our fundraising.
In addition 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 from our school on 24th April .
Please bring your bag
(or bags!) to the main School gate on the left (by the bins –PLEASE ) and help
us have a really good collection.
Many
thanks indeed for helping us with this unique fundraising opportunity.
Yours
faithfully
The PTA
