PURPLE COMMUNITY FUND http://www.p-c-f.org/ From May 2016, members have been collecting ring pulls from cans which are sent to the Purple Community Fund for re-cycling in a most imaginative way. As at April 2018, over 100,000 ring pulls have been collected.

Jane returned to her HQ with a hefty supply of ring pulls collected by members.

At the club and supper meeting, members were given the opportunity to purchase items made by the Purple Community Fund in the Philipines
Club member Jill Delgado during her many visits to Cape Verde, asked islanders to collect the ring pulls which they did with enthusiasm as a way of appreciation for the support given to their community via the club’s education trust. As a further fund raiser, members were invited to guess how many ring pulls were in on of the bags brought back by Jill. See above – Anthea Thomas was the winner!
