During C28’s First week back in year 10 (which is insane!!), we’ll be completing a number of activities to positively impact our community (and that’s all i’ll say for now!).

As part of this, we’ll be running a clothes drive; focusing on protecting our planet; looking through the lens of sustainability & recycling, whilst also helping others in our community. 

If, on the run up to or over summer, you have a clear out, or have any clothing or footwear items you could donate (of all sizes, kids and adults, in a wearable condition!), we’re asking that you bring the items to XP Reception (preferably bagged!).

We’re happy to start collecting this from now, with a view to donate the clothing towards the end of the first week back.

Here is a link to The Clothing Bank’s webpage for you to look at; the work they do is incredibly touching.

“Around 20% of the UK Population (13,500,000 people) was estimated to be living in poverty in the UK 2018.
We found out first hand, that people that fall just above this line are struggling more than ever to clothe themselves or their family after having to pay for the everyday living costs. 
Due to the current climate we can only expect this number to inflate. 
Right now, more than ever, people need the security of being able to clothe themselves and their loved ones.”
Sally Parkinson CO-Founder | The Clothing Bank

Thanks, as always!
