Thank you Pete from Point 2 Point Transport Ltd for collecting 35 bags of Tassimo coffee discs from us which had been donated via Win on Waste sessions across Bournemouth and Poole.  The discs will be recycled by Terracycle and money raised will go to the Poole Hospital Scanner Appeal.

Thanks to donations  of ties including 574 from Poole High School, 349 from customers of Good Vibrations and 509 from many different people, Monique handed over a total of 1,432 to Jane from the Purple Community Fund at The Lighthouse in Poole on 5 October.  The ties will be shipped to the Philippines where women will make them into items such as bags and cushion covers which will be sold in the UK.  Funds will then go back to the women and their families.
