Bag2School
Have you been clearing out?
We are arranging a Bag2School collection for Tuesday 11th May 2021.
Bag2School are a free fundraising scheme, established in 1999, for anyone wanting to raise funds using a resource EVERYONE has got in their wardrobe – unwanted clothes. They work in partnership with Schools, Businesses, Community Groups, Local Councils and Charities to help them raise funds from your donations. We operate throughout the UK; collecting and selling your unwanted textiles to importers and wholesalers in many countries of Eastern and Western Europe, Africa and Asia. All to benefit the Circular Economy.
How does it work? We will arrange a mutually agreed date for our van to arrive at your school or organisation to collect the bags. Our driver will load the bags directly onto the van. The collection is then weighed and we send you a cheque. In some areas you will receive the cheque on the collection day. Simple!
B2S has paid over £36 Million to schools and other organisations SO FAR!
