Dear Parent/Carer,
Our school is taking part in an Spring term clothing collection with Happy School Bag Project.
Children will soon bring home a collection bag, additional bags can be collected from the office. To take part you simply need to fill the bag with unwanted but clean and reusable clothing, paired shoes and fashion accessories. School uniform should be donated separately for reuse within our community.
Please drop all filled donation bags to the Office no later than:
Tuesday 11 March
Donations made after this date will be turned away.
Please see the below list of items which are accepted by this collection:
Accepted items:
✔️ Good quality clean adults’/children’s clothing
✔️ Paired Shoes
✔️ Accessories including: handbags, belts, hats, jewellery etc
Items not accepted:
❌ School Uniform
(please instead donate good quality, clean items to the office for the pre-loved rail)
❌ Dirty, damaged, wet clothing and items unsuitable for reuse.
❌ Toys, books, DVDs
❌ Duvets, pillows, household linen, carpets, blankets, curtains
❌ Bric-a-brac
This scheme is designed to help schools raise needed funds, as well as helping the environment by keeping textiles away from landfills. By taking part in this scheme you will also help to reduce the amount of reusable textiles from going to landfill and give the clothing a new lease of life at second hand markets. Remember, the more you fill up the bag the more funds the school can raise.
Thank you for your continued support,
Hayley Dix | Communications Officer
