Donate Clothes 4 Sammy: Raising Funds for Your School and Supporting a Vital Cause

Donate Clothes 4 Sammy is an initiative launched by Leukaemia & Myeloma Research UK, a charity dedicated to finding cures for three major types of blood cancer. Sammy, the fennec fox, is the face of this mission, aiming to protect the environment, raise funds for local schools, and support vital cancer research.

This project is also focused on promoting recycling, particularly textile recycling. Currently, only a small percentage of clothing is recycled, with millions of tonnes ending up in landfills each year. By participating, schools can play a vital role in addressing this issue while raising funds and educating pupils on the importance of recycling and sustainability. To further support this educational initiative, the charity has generous sponsors and supporters who back our work. This academic year, we plan to visit actively participating schools with a recycling theatre show, teaching pupils more about the importance of textile recycling and how they can help protect the environment.

How It Works:

We’re excited to offer two easy options for schools to raise money while promoting sustainability:

Bags Collection: We pay 55p per kilo of collected preloved clothing.

Completely Free to Join: No hidden fees, contracts, or obligations—you can opt out anytime.

How the Bag Collection Process Works:

  • Bag Provision: We provide collection bags, a fence banner, and stickers for children.
  • Distribution: Distribute the bags to parents, and children get a Sammy sticker for donating.
  • Collection: Our friendly, DBS-checked drivers will collect the filled bags and issue a receipt with the total weight for your reference.
  • Payment: Your school earns 55p per kilo, with funds transferred within 3 days.
  • Certificates: Your school receives certificates acknowledging funds raised and your contribution to Leukaemia & Myeloma Research UK (35p per kilo).

Why Join Sammy’s Project?

By participating, your school raises valuable funds, supports environmental sustainability, and helps educate pupils on the importance of recycling. Many schools use these funds for their Eco clubs or other green initiatives, while also making a difference in reducing waste and protecting the planet. With the added benefit of our recycling theatre show, pupils will be even more engaged in learning about the vital role they play in helping the environment through textile recycling.

Benefits:

  • Support Your School: Raise funds for your school’s initiatives or eco clubs.
  • Promote Sustainability: Educate students on the importance of textile recycling and contribute to reducing landfill waste.
  • Environmental Impact: By choosing our eco-friendly option, you help reduce plastic use and support a more sustainable approach to recycling.

Raising funds for our school through unwanted items is a great and sustainable way of continuing to provide the best environment and facilities for our pupils.

From the teachers to the students, we’ve all enjoyed taking part in the clothing recycling scheme with the Sammy Project – it’s a fantastic way to raise funds for not only our school but also blood cancer research and supporting the environment by recycling in an ethical way.
