Bra Collection 2025
For the 7th year running Salisbury Soroptimists asked local residents to turn out their drawers, and they did!
We had collection points at 60 Endless Street, Five Rivers Leisure Centre, Salisbury Library, Salisbury Playhouse and Salisbury and South Wilts Golf Club. In other locations our members collected from friends and families.
Throughout May and June the donations kept arriving and piling up. On count night they were all transported to the Baptist Church Hall for sorting and counting.
Members counted bras into piles of 10, then 10 piles were put into black sacks and labelled. The hallway soon filled up!
Packing the van
Barry arrived promptly and the loading of the van began. It is surprising how heavy 100 bras can be! Plenty of arm exercise as we carried the bags to the van.
Once the bras were on their way, we all sat down to supper together to celebrate a job well done! And the total count was 5481!
They will soon be on their way to Ghana!
