Across the UK The Fire Fighters Charity Clothes Recycling generated just over £956,000, collecting over 4,700 tonnes of clothing, re-diverting this away from landfill.
Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service (MAWWFRS) was responsible for £42,955 of this figure with a total sum weight of 208,882kg which is pretty impressive!
Every penny raised through clothing donations assist in helping The Fire Fighters Charity continue their work in supporting all serving / retired members and their families, of the UK’s fire services community.
The Fire Fighters Charity clothes banks accept donations all year long and all donations help make a real difference to people’s lives. FFC clothes banks can be found at many of our fire stations, community sites and supermarkets, and they have the Charity’s logo on them.
