St. Patrick’s N.S are running a clothing collection in conjunction with Bag2School which will be collected at the school on Tuesday the 16th of November. (bags to follow soon)
(Please drop bags at the school gate - please have all bags dropped off before 12p.m. on Tuesday the 16th. Bags can be dropped off on any day before this date & we will store them here in the school)
By getting involved in our Bag2School collection you have an opportunity to sort through your cupboards and wardrobes and donate any unwanted textiles in the bag provided.
In addition, it will raise awareness amongst the children of the benefits of recycling and reuse. We can accept adult and children’s clothes, shoes (tied together please), hats, belts, handbags, scarves & belts, soft toys.
Please NO Duvets, Pillows, Curtains, Blankets, Towels, Charity shop items or items not fit for re-use.
The clothes have to be of good quality for reuse in Africa, Asia and Eastern Europe. The LauraLynn House will also receive an additional 10% from Bag2School. The LauraLynn House is the only Children’s Hospice in Ireland.
Their mission is “The LauraLynn House cares for children with life limiting conditions, and their families, by providing high quality transitional care, home support, respite, crisis and end-of-life care. Our services are available to children with high medical and nursing needs from birth to 18.”
Please try to fill as many bags as you can, don’t forget to ask grandparents, friends
and neighbours to have a sort out too!
You can return clothes in any kind of bag. Bag2School will be collecting on 16/11/21.
Please return your bag (or bags!) to us and help us have a really good collection! Many thanks indeed for helping us with this unique fundraising opportunity.
