Recycling and reuse are part of our group's ethos and we continue to collect clothing. Between 2018 and 2021 we liaised with the Inner City Helping Homeless charity, until their closure Nov 2021. Since February 2022 we donate to the Sleep Out Cavan charity which sells the items for €5 each to fund supporting the homeless and disadvantaged families.
