We sent TERRACYCLE just over ONE TONNE of plastic, made up of food containers, lunch boxes, reusable drinks bottles. That’s over 100 boxes weighing 10kg each. We earned points for every kilogram sent, translating into £1,148 to be paid directly to our nominated charity KICKS COUNT, dedicated to reducing UK’s stillbirths.
An amazing achievement !! Thank you to everyone that had a kitchen clear out for us and helped in so many ways.

Full list of items that you can recycle:
