WHAT’S THE BIG IDEA? Charity clothing banks.
HOW DOES THAT WORK? Nisa’s Making a Difference Locally (MADL) charity has launched a new initiative to help retailers to raise additional funds for local causes, in the form of branded clothing banks. Nisa retailers can order the charity clothing banks free of charge. They are designed to help put communities’ unwanted clothes to better use, reduce their environmental impact and increase stores’ MADL funds to donate locally. The rollout follows a successful trial earlier this year.
FREE OF CHARGE? Yes, absolutely no cost to the retailer. The initiative is being done in partnership with an organisation called Nathan’s Waste Savers and every clothing donation is either sold, reused or recycled so nothing goes to waste.
WHAT WORK IS REQUIRED FROM RETAILERS TO LOOK AFTER THEM? None. The banks require no maintenance as they are installed, serviced and emptied regularly by Nathan’s Waste Savers free of charge. Once clothing banks have been weighed and emptied, funds raised are banked into the store’s MADL account and donated to a local good cause of the store’s choosing.
