Ecokids is a textile recycling project, designed especially to help raise funds for our school.  We will receive up to £500/tonne or £0.50/kg, which will give a boost to our fundraising efforts. 

Not only is this an opportunity to raise cash to fund extra activities in school, this project also prevents good, re-wearable clothing and accessories going to landfill.   With the help of ecokids  we can actively educate and provide encouragement for the next generation to become involved in giving more consideration to the environment as well as extending the usefulness of their unwanted clothes.

We would very much like you, your family, relatives, friends and your neighbours to become involved. 

Here is an opportunity to sort through your wardrobe and cupboards and put them in the ecokids bag provided, and/or your own bag. We kindly ask you to donate:

•           Good quality, dry, clean clothing

•           Handbags & accessories

•           Toys in new & working condition 

•           Paired, clean undamaged shoes

•           Costume Jewellery

•           Cosmetics  

If you fill the ecokids bag but still have lots more items to donate, then any white plastic bags will be acceptable or ask your child to see Mrs. Bassett who may have more bags available.

We have arranged for ecokids to collect from our school premises and all bags need to be with us by THURSDAY 11th MAY; should you wish to drop off a large quantity of bags please contact Mrs. Bassett on the Academy number below who can arrange a mutually agreeable time.

We would like to take this opportunity to give you and everybody involved, a massive THANK YOU for supporting us with this eco-friendly fundraising opportunity.
