BRAS FOR AFRICA

Erddig is supporting the Campaign to send Redundant Bras To be recycled for use in Africa.


Our Club has registered as a "Bra Bank" with collecting boxes in "Erddig Hair Dressers", Erddig road, Wrexham;  Dynamic Charity Shop in Regent Street;  MBNA Bank in Chester Business Park.

 In the near future it is hoped to place boxes in Village Bakery, Maelor School Penley and the Leader Office in Wrexham.

 Please donate any unwanted used bras into one of these boxes. The bras are collected,sorted and sent to Africa where they are used to help reduce rape and abuse of women as well as giving support, paticularly to nursing mothers.

  We welcome anyone who can help us in this or any of our other on going projects.

 In anticipation, thanks for your help.

Graham Arthurs.
