Recycling tips, especially for the ladies

Don't throw your old bras away. Donate them to the BreastTalk.co.uk Bra Appeal.

They are asking for all old bras which can be distributed to charities throughout the UK and overseas or used to generate cash for breast cancer research. There are many women across the world who for whatever reason don't have a bra. They may be homeless in the UK or living in a country where the price of a new bra is just out of their reach. The BreastTalk.co.uk Bra Appeal is trying to help these women by collecting and distributing your unwanted bras to charities in the UK and abroad.

So what types of bra can you donate?

Any style - but not too sexy or see through. Any size - especially large or small sizes. US or European sizes are fine. Maternity or nursing bras are fine.

Please post all bras to the address below in a small Jiffy type bag or box.

YOU MUST wash all bras before you post them. Check the straps and clasps are in working order and there are no rips or tears in the material. Please attach a small piece of paper to each bra with the size. Use a paper clip and attach to one of the straps - please don't use pins.

Please DO NOT send knickers. They are thrown away.

Post your bras to :
