SI Crosby members are trying to recycle, re-use – and even raise money.<\/h4>\n

Members and friends are collecting unwanted\/broken jewellery, watches, ‘small electricals’ (phones, cameras, MP3 players, laptops, shavers, etc). Also collected are currencies and coins (even outdated) and stamps.<\/p>\n

Many of the goods go to Recycling for Good Causes<\/a>. In return, the club receives a cheque. We sell some items via other online sites, too.<\/p>\n

We donate these funds to the Diamond Education Grant<\/a> (DEG). This is a charity run by Soroptimist International Great Britain and Ireland (SIGBI<\/a>). The DEG provides grants to assist women to update their skills after employment breaks, or to acquire new skills that improve their opportunities in work.<\/p>\n

So this simple scheme supports women’s education and employment while, at the same time, helping the environment.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”white”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_media_grid grid_id=”vc_gid:1691319685972-448c1dc3-989f-4″ include=”5671,5670,5672″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Crosby Soroptimists’ now also take empty medicine blister packets to a local participating Superdrug<\/a> pharmacy for recycling.<\/p>\n

Once collected from the pharmacy, the packets are separated by polymer type. They are cleaned (if necessary). The material is then extruded into plastic pellets to make new recycled products.<\/p>\n

The disposal of soft and flexible plastics is a further recycling project. Members take these items that can’t be recycled at home to collecting bins<\/a> in supermarkets.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”white”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_media_grid grid_id=”vc_gid:1691319685984-a0329ef3-5351-1″ include=”6393,6046,6413,6056,6050,6062″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
