HOW PEOPLE HELP
Nigel Parker and the textile recycling bank on Kelston Road
Three brothers, three shops, thousands raised for the Charity T
hree brothers that run three Good Days News/ Premier Stores shops in Weston Super Mare have helped generate thousands of pounds for the Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance.
It all began in August 2009 when Tony Parker agreed
to provide a small space in the car park of his Ebdon Road store for a textile recycling bank. The bank proved extremely popular with the community, which encouraged Tony’s brother Adrian Parker to place a bank at the Good Days News store on Milton Road. Finally, Nigel Parker, the third brother, agreed to site a recycling bank at the Premier store on Kelston Road.
“It’s amazing that these three stores in the heart of
the community can play such a vital role in providing funds for the air ambulance,” says Danielle Mugridge from Bagitup Ltd, who runs the scheme on behalf of the Charity. “Local residents have helped to ensure the success of these banks by regularly donating their unwanted clothes, shoes and textiles.” To date, the three banks have generated an incredible
£3,193 and we would like to say a big thank you to everyone that has supported the initiative. To find out where your nearest clothing recycling bank is, visit:

Textiles at Dike & Son generate £2,000
The textile recycling bank located in the car park of Dike & Son in Stalbridge raised a whopping £2,000 in 2011 for the Charity. Our thanks go to everyone that donated their unwanted clothes, shoes, blankets and towels. Please keep them coming!
