As a parent/carer or teacher, we all want the very best education for our children. Unfortunately, we live in a world of economic turmoil and the first thing to go is usually financial support in our education system. The onus then falls on the PTA, staff and kids’ families to work extra hard to raise the funds needed to keep the school in maintained play areas, school activities, supplies and much more. Coming up with charity ideas for schools that haven’t been done ten times over is hard. How do you find a no-cost, unique and achievable way to raise funds? It can be challenging for some schools, but not for schools who use our Recycled Clothing Banks.
We work with many schools across London and the home counties, providing them with branded textiles bins so that unwanted clothes and household textiles can be donated, and money earned to support the school.
Charity ideas for schools
It is such a simple yet effective way to get children onboard with the concept of recycling, especially when they can see the benefits of being paid out per tonne collected and how that money can be spent. Hopefully it will encourage them to work on other charity ideas for schools in the future.
It’s also a great way to get families and teachers involved as we know only too well how many of us have piles of clothes we will simply never wear again, and it won’t earn any money sitting in your wardrobe.
If your school is fortunate enough to not need any immediate financial support but would like to support a local or national charity, that is no problem for us either. We can brand your Recycled Clothing Bank just the way you want it to raise awareness, funds and plenty of smiles. We have relationships with many charitable organisations and our design team are only too pleased to get in touch with them and get the right logo and artwork to produce a great Recycled Clothing Bank.
If you are ready to do a charity idea for schools that is a little different, get in touch today.
