The Parents Association are organising a Clothes Recycling Day on Thursday the 14th of November in conjunction with Bag2School. Bags can be brought into the school and left in the shelter in the yard from Wednesday morning, 13th of November. By getting involved in our collection you have an opportunity to sort through your cupboards and wardrobes and donate any unwanted textiles. In addition, it will raise awareness amongst the children of the benefits of recycling and reuse. We can accept adult and children’s clothes, shoes (tied together please), hats, scarves, handbags, belts, soft toys and small amounts of sheets & duvet covers. Please NO Duvets, Pillows, Curtains, Blankets, Towels or End-Of-Life Clothing. The clothes have to be of good quality for reuse in Africa, Asia and Eastern Europe.
The LauraLynn House will also receive an additional 10% from Bag2School. The LauraLynn House is the only Children’s Hospice in Ireland. Their mission is “The LauraLynn House cares for children with life limiting conditions, and their families, by providing high quality transitional care, home support, respite, crisis and end-of-life care. Our services are available to children with high medical and nursing needs from birth to 18.”
Please try to fill as many bags as you can, don’t forget to ask grandparents, friends and neighbours to have a sort out too! You can return clothes in any kind of bag. Please return your bag (or bags!) to us and help us have a really good collection on November 14th.
The funds raised will be used by the Parents Association to fund events for the children in the school during the year.
