Support Oare School – and the environment – with Bag2School
Are you having a clear out and need to get rid of old clothes, shoes and bags etc?
Oare School PTA has organised a clothes and shoe collection with Bag2School in order to raise funds for a much-needed new dishwasher for the school.
Bag2School is the UK’s leading textile recycler and fundraiser working with schools and since its inception in 1999 it has now paid out over £48 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 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 – this can include adults’ and children’s clothes, shoes (tied together please), hats, belts, handbags and soft toys, (please refer to https://bag2school.com for full details).
You can use any bag to donate your items.
Bag2School will be collecting from Oare Primary School on Friday 15 May. Please bring your bag (or bags!) to the main entrance of the school before 9am on the Friday morning and help us have a really good collection.
If you need to drop them off before Friday 15th, you can leave them with the Hurd’s at The Stables, Pound Lane, before then.
Many thanks indeed for helping us with this unique fundraising opportunity.
Kind regards
Oare PTA
