Bag up bras for air ambulance support

By a County Press reporter

Wednesday, March 6, 2013

 

UNWANTED bras can now be donated to help both the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance and be sent to women in West Africa.

This year’s Bag a Bra day will take place on Thursday, May 23, and the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance, as well as many women in West Africa, will benefit from the event.

The Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance works with a recycling company called Bag it Up, which recycles donated clothes that are processed and then sent to other countries for resale.

The charity then receives payment in relation to the weight of clothing donated.
