Donate a bra for ‘Smalls for All’ charity at New Forest Escapes in Lymington

PEOPLE are being asked to donate old bras to help a charity which provides underwear for those who cannot access it or afford it.

New Forest Escapes in Lymington is hoping to collect more than 100 bras for Smalls For All, which in Africa supports those living in orphanages and camps.

In the UK, the organisation helps charities and organisations supporting the homeless and people struggling with poverty.

The holiday lettings company has an ethos of community, environment and sustainability.

Managing director Jane Wilkinson said: “The business and the team regularly give their time and support to various initiatives and charities. Following team discussions, we decided for our next project we were keen to raise awareness of the work of Smalls for All, and as an all-female team we decided to focus on collecting bras.”

The business is asking for new or “gently worn and laundered” bras to be donated to the ‘bra box’ at New Forest Escapes’ HQ at 23 New Street.

The bras can be any size, including sports, maternity and nursing bras. Jane said: “Having access to everyday essentials such as underwear is something we are fortunate to take for granted. Giving a bra may seem like a small thing, but it will make a difference to someone’s life.

“Have a look through your lingerie for any bras that are unworn or hardly worn. Alternatively, please consider supporting this worthwhile cause by purchasing a new bra.”
