The Bag It Up Story So Far

In May 2005, our recycling company was chosen by the Yorkshire Air Ambulance Charity to recycle Yorkshire's unwanted clothing, shoes and textiles, to raise funds for their life-saving service.

Textile recycling banks were, and still are, being placed at recycling sites across Yorkshire. From the resale of the donations, over £31,000 was raised for the charity in the first year of launching the scheme.

Following on from this successful partnership, we also became the proud partner of more UK based charities. Visit our 
Charity Partnerships page to see how priceless the services are of all our charity partners…the Yorkshire Air Ambulance, the Hampshire & Isle of Wight Air Ambulance, the Dorset & Somerset Air Ambulance, Whizz-Kidz, and Wiltshire Air Ambulance.

In 2006, we launched BAG IT UP, a series of recycling schemes and campaigns to help maximise the funds available for our charities. Due to demand, bra, shoe, mobile phone and inkjet cartridge recycling are now popular methods for devoted supporters to raise funds for their charity, without handing over any hard-earned cash!

What happens to your donations

All donations are sold to second-hand traders in the UK and abroad, where they are reused or recycled. Last summers’ shoes may be walking the streets of Slovakia, that tatty old jumper might be insulating your home, your old mobile phone could be ringing in Kenya, that bra you never liked will fit someone in Ghana ...

Please see our FAQ page for more information on what happens to your donations, and our moral and ethical responsibilities.
