Bra Donations?

roosterpotatoes

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if you can help me.

I have a bin bag full of bras which are in good condition but no use to me and wanted to donate them to a breast cancer charity.

I was wondering if anyone knew if Lorraine Kelly's bin your bra campaign is going to happen again?

Or whether there is anywhere where I can donate them?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated :beer:

I have also been wondering about Breast Cancer Care as that charity is close to my heart :A

I will have to keep my eyes peeled for the date of the campaigns as no dates have been released for this years bin your bra yet :money:

Thank you

Some Oxfam shops also accept them, to send directly to Africa. Ask at your local shop if you are interested.

Good for you for offering support to others.

Hi

Depending on where you are a company will collect them and either donate to breast cancer or depending on the condition will send them overseas as in some counties having a bra will increase the status of the women, the company is:

Www.smallsforall.org is a charity in need of bras and any size 'new pants'.

I've just looked at their website and read how it helps everyone. The one query I would have is as they donate to children and women why do they stop at size 16 pants. I'm sure there must be women who need a larger size? A marvellous idea nonetheless.

Obesity is a first world problem. There would be too few women in these countries requiring size 18 plus.

Children's and small bras would be welcomed at GoaOutreach which is a small project in Goa, India. But 32 would really be the biggest size they would need. Indian girls are petite.
