Green is Good for the Sick Kids Friends Foundation!!
Recycling is not only good for the environment, it is also good for the Sick Kids Friends Foundation! We are currently operating several recycling schemes in association with different partners to protect the environment and raise funds for the Sick Kids at the same time.
Read on to find out how you can help
Rag Bag Collections
Rag Bag is an initiative to raise funds for charity by recycling textiles and shoes in conjunction with Nathans Wastesavers.
Textiles, clothing and shoes are collected directly from your door and recycled to raise funds for charity.
The aim of the scheme is to :
- Increase recycling rates, help the environment and help Local Authorities to meet challenging recycling targets.
- Raise awareness about textile recycling in Scotland
- RAISE FUNDS FOR CHARITIES
So far the scheme has raised over £12,000 for the Sick Kids Friends Foundation!
If you would like more information about the Rag Bag House Collection or you have a problem with your collection, please visit www.rag-bag.co.uk.
So far the Rag Bag Appeal has raised over £12,000 for the Sick Kids Friends Foundation.
Ink Cartridge & Mobile Phone Recycling
Everyone knows recycling is good for the environment, but did you know that recycling is also good for the Sick Kids Friends Foundation? We have teamed up withEdinburgh Council to launch a fantastic new fundraising appeal that will allow our supporters to generate cash without it costing them a penny – and we want you to be part of it!
If you use a printer or fax machine, each spent cartridge could earn the Sick Kids Friends Foundatio around £1. Any old mobile phones in your cupboards? Each used mobile phone is worth around £5 - estimates suggest there are close to 90 million handsets hiding in drawers and cupboards in the UK so if any of these are yours, why not use them to raise valuable funds?
Or, consider getting your employer involved – recycling is a great way for companies to go green! Taking part is easy – simply visit www.recyclingappeal.com and click the ‘Recycle Now’ button. If you have product to send in, you will either receive a freepost envelope or a call from a member of the Recycling Appeal team to coordinate a free collection. To ensure the funds your products raise are directed to the Sick Kids Friends Foundation, simply insert our name in the ‘Collecting For’ field. Alternatively, call 08451 30 20 10 to join.
Your participation in this recycling campaign will raise greatly needed funds for our organisation. If you have any further questions, please call the Recycling Appeal team on 08451 30 20 10.
So far the Recycling Appeal has raised almost £3,500 for the Sick Kids Friends Foundation.
