🩷 Hey lovely people! 🗣️

🩷 Today we’re taking a moment to remind you that 1 in 5 people in the U.K. are now in clothing poverty. That’s 21% of us that can’t access clothing or footwear when we need to! 😪

🧵

🩷 Every item of clothing you don’t want anymore should be recycled if it can be. Projects like ours across the country will gladly receive your donations & recycle them back into the community to those in need!♻️
