Fantastic News!!! We have won the LGC community involvement award 2010 in partnership with Southampton City Council. A great achievement and big thumbs up for our recycling scheme for the Hampshire & Isle of Wight Air Ambulance. The award celebrates the work undertaken to manage student waste over the summer in Polygon (an inner city area of Southampton) and the ongoing monitoring and management of waste/enviro crime, to help keep the area clean and green. We were really pleased to hear the judges say 'we had won the award by a mile'.
Southampton City Council have allowed us to site Circa 50 clothing banks in the city since our scheme began as well as working with us on numerous promotional days, and recycling initiatives. Recycling funds have now paid for a third of the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulances missions!
We want to keep raising more and more funds for our charity partners and working with councils is an integral way of doing so – thank you to all the councils that have supported Bag It Up and our charities.
If you want to find out where your nearest bank is please go to www.bagitup.org.uk or if you are a council who would be interested in finding more about our charity schemes and fundraising partnerships please email info@bagitup.org.uk
