I was so excited to meet and shake hands with HRH The Countess of Wessex, Patron of the Meningitis Trust when Lynne and I visited the charity as part of its 25th Anniversary celebrations.
It was a good way of cementing relations with them and talking about our latest innovation to combat bogus charity bag collections www.bcrmeningitistrust.co.uk. The news of donation bags being taken from doorsteps and fake charities collecting for their own pockets has really shaken up the public. Actual clothing donations are down by 20% and another charity said the practice was costing them £3million in lost donations.
The new website is our way of carrying the banner – donating your wearable clothing is still a great way to re-use recycle and donate. Let’s keep the message out there.
