The Big Bra Hunt- Show your support!

Ladies, did you know that many developing countries don’t possess the complex technology needed to manufacture bras?

Hard to think that bras- items considered a necessity by most women and available from most UK High Street fashion retailers- are seriously sought after in developing regions of the world, in particular Senegal.

Oxfam want to do something about this, and show support for the women of Senegal and around the world in more ways than one!

So, what can you do help?

LADIES! We are asking you to donate any unwanted bras to your local Oxfam shop!

Any bras we collect will be sent over to ‘Frip Ethique’ in Senegal- a social enterprise set up by Oxfam which employs local women- their job involves sorting any donated bras and selling them to local market traders. By donating your bras you will be supporting these women by keeping them in a job and able to earn a good salary! Some bras will even be sold in our UK stores to raise vital Oxfam funds for such fantastic campaigns.

So, what are you waiting for?! You can make a huge difference in 3 easy steps…

1. Get hunting for those unwanted bras in the back of your wardrobe!

2. Collect those bras and drop them off at your Oxfam Whitworth Park shop

3. Give yourself a pat on the back, knowing that you have supported other women around the world!
