According to a recent survey the average Brit throws away 72 pieces of clothing a year. And less than 1% of discarded clothes gets recycled. WE NEED TO CHANGE!
Aaaaand…
St Mary's Big Church across the road is a landmark of Stoke Newington, and a vibrant community space that supports with its centre civil social and environmental action. It also provides a safe and inclusive space for neighbours from all faiths and backgrounds to meet over meals, activities, and shared interests.
The gorgeous building is losing its roof and we are fundraising for its repair so that St Mary's could continue to serve our community, and we continue to have our coffees on the lawn, shop for Christmas trees, and volunteer at the community garden.
Come along and support your community and the environment!
Guidelines:
- Clean and whole clothes only, we will turn down clothes that are stained, damaged, or smelly to keep the event fresh and lovely.
- Leftover clothes from the event will be donated to local charity shops.
- All proceeds will go the building repairs at St Mary’s Church.
- This is a community event run by volunteers so please come with high spirits and an open heart ♥️
