Soroptimist International of Widnes\u00a0<\/strong>is collecting used, new or unwanted bras<\/strong> for the charity \u2018AGAINST breast cancer<\/span>\u2019\u00a0at our stall at the Haven<\/strong> <\/span>Festival<\/span> on Sat 1st July 2023 at the Barnyards from 11.00am.<\/strong><\/p>\n

For every tonne of bras collected, the charity, \u2018AGAINST Breast Cancer\u2019, receives \u00a3700 enabling the funding of lifesaving research projects at some of the UK\u2019s most respected academic establishments leading to improved outcomes for women throughout the world.<\/p>\n

The bras are prevented from going to landfill and are sent to small businesses in developing countries in Africa and around the world. The bras are given a new lease of life in countries such as Ghana and Kenya where bras are expensive to produce locally, and this provides an income for struggling families.<\/p>\n

Being able to access reasonably priced bras, boosts the self-esteem of women and girls in developing countries but more importantly, it can give status to women and girls; and a girl who is wearing a bra is less likely to be raped or sexually assaulted.<\/p>\n

Please donate your bras!<\/strong><\/p>\n

We are aslo raising funds to support Halton Haven which is President Sheelagh’s nominated charity for her year. Come along and\u00a0 find out more about what we do to improve the lives of women and girls locally, nationally and globally.<\/p>\n
