Women all over Warrington are digging out bras of all shapes, sizes and colours for SI Warrington.
Following on from two successful bra collection projects in the past, club members are once again collecting for Oxfam’s Big Bra Hunt.
Some will be resold to raise money for Oxfam’s work. The others will go to Oxfam’s recycling plant and many will end up in the charity’s social enterprise in Senegal. The Frip Ethique project provides life-changing employment opportunities for the women involved. The workers sort and sell clothes, including the bras, to local market traders.
IThe profits are also invested in Oxfam’s work fighting poverty in Senegal. British bras are sought after in Senegal where few businesses have the complex technology needed to make good-quality bras.
After the Warrington Guardian ran a story about the collection, women from all over Warrington contacted SI Warrington to offer bras. The collection will run until late June.
