Give your bra a new lease of life

Published November 01, 2023 By

AS BREAST Cancer Awareness Month comes to a close, The Trinity Holistic Centre is supporting a bra recycling initiative to raise money for cancer research beyond October.

The centre, based at The James Cook University Hospital, has teamed up with the charity Action Against Cancer to officially open a bra bank.

Against Breast Cancer collects unwanted or unloved bras to raise vital funds for pioneering breast cancer research.

Rather than sending the bras to landfill, the bra recycling scheme upcycles and gives bras a new lease of life in developing countries in Africa.

For every tonne of bras the Trinity Holistic Centre collects, Against Breast Cancer receives £700 to fund breast cancer research.

Macmillan cancer information manager Lauren Farrow said: “We are thrilled to open our very own bra bank.

“If you’re having a clear-out at home and come across any bras you no longer need or want, we would be extremely grateful if you bring them along to the centre - it doesn’t matter what size or style they are.

“Together, we can make a difference with every bra.

"Your donation of a bra may seem small, but it holds immense value in helping to raise funds for potentially life-changing research while helping women in developing countries.”

If you would like to donate your unwanted bras, please drop them off at the bra bank at the entrance of the Trinity Holistic Centre.
