Students from Southampton Solent University have donated over three tonnes of textiles to the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance ‘Bag-It-Up’ scheme. This is our biggest single donation of textiles we have ever received!
Rather than just throwing away old clothes, towels and other textiles Southampton Solent University have collected unwanted items from their students on their own converted old milk float known as ‘Eco Ernie’.
This was sorted and ‘Bagged Up’ by a team of volunteers and donated to the charity.
Bag It Up’s Danielle Mugridge added: "This project is a fantastic way of involving students in the local community and helping raise funds for the life saving work of the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance. Combined with this, the project addresses the importance of recycling and the diversion of tons of waste from the waste stream and landfill.
