Title: Clothing collection bags for breast cancer
Post by: tankerville on January 29, 2013, 09: PM
A bag dropped on my doormat today;

Breast Cancer Charity asking for any unwanted clothing to be donated to a very charitable cause, they even provided a white plastic sack and details of the money given to Breast Cancer charity.

After making enquiries on how much local shops pay for your unwanted clothing it works out.

One tonne of clothing equals £1000 and they a contribute £90.00 to Breast Cancer.

Not a bad little earner playing on such an emotive issue for a quick buck.

Disgraceful.

I sometimes get 2 bags a day ...with a handful of take away leaflets too.

Maybe there is a connection between unwanted clothes and f**ty food ????

Always read the small print, one i got a few months ago was supporting a Lithuanian charity.
