Underground, overground, make sure you donate

This month people across the globe will be coming together to put the planet first on Global Recycling Day on Saturday.

Age UK and our new friends, the Wombles, are helping to spread the message of sustainability and asking the people of Woolwich to take part by donating their unwanted items to the Age UK Woolwich shop.

The Wombles are working with the charity throughout the year as they celebrate their 50th anniversary.

Together we hope to inspire people to adopt positive (Womble-style) behaviour, whether that’s by recycling their unwanted items and donating them to Age UK, or by reusing pre-loved items purchased in the charity’s shops.

The Age UK Woolwich shop urgently needs good quality donations such as clothing and accessories, gifts, toys, household items and shoes, all of which are then sold on to be loved again.

Age UK shops raise funds to support vital services for older people, including the Charity’s free and confidential national Advice Line and Telephone Friendship Services.

Global Recycling Day celebrates the importance of recycling when it comes to protecting the planet.

Donating your unwanted items to Age UK not only helps raise vital funds for the Charity’s work supporting older people, but helps to reduce waste and landfill.

So please join us and The Wombles, and donate your unwanted items on Global Recycling Day. Not only will you be doing your bit for the environment, you’ll also be helping a great cause!
