Do you have bras that just aren’t working for you? Then let them work for us! We have teamed up with recycling company, Bag It Up Ltd, to launch an appeal for all your unwanted bras.

We all have a few bras that never see the light of day – either because they don’t fit or we just don’t like them. Well, here’s your incentive to clear some space in your drawer and give us your support (in more ways than one!)

Second-hand bras are in considerable demand, particularly in West Africa, where traders can buy and sell quality garments at affordable prices. Most unwanted bras end up in landfill but, with the help of Bag It Up Ltd., we can now recycle them to raise money. Not only will you be helping CancerCare and the environment but also women in other parts of the world who do not have easy access to such items.

Bring your bras to StarWalk where there will be a collection point, drop them into one of our special collecting boxes (in CancerCare’s shops & centres, Westmorland Shopping Centre and other local shops and businesses) or post them to:

Old Mobile Phones

Each household in the UK has an average of two to three unused mobile phones and, once again, recycling these items can bring in valued funds that will help CancerCare to help others.

Discarded mobile phones, iPhones and Blackberrys are resold in the UK and overseas. Newer models have a much higher value than older models, whereas the metals and other materials are recycled from obsolete models. By recycling and reusing these unwanted items, potentially toxic waste is diverted from landfill.

Mobile phones, iPhones or Blackberrys can also be donated at the above points or posted FREE to:
