NI Hospice Children’s Service launch fundraising scheme
The Northern Ireland Hospice Children’s Service are collecting used mobile phones, toner and printer cartridges to help secure the £2 million needed to run the Newtownabbey-based children’s hospice each year.
By collecting used toner and printer cartridges that would normally be thrown away, as well as old mobile phones that are no longer wanted, people in Northern Ireland can help raise valuable cash for this worthwhile charity as part of a recycling scheme that’s also environmentally friendly.
Yasmin Jeffrey, a Children’s Hospice Fundaraiser, said: “Our Children’s Hospice is available free of charge to the children and families who so desperately need it, yet it costs around £2 million a year to keep it open with no government support. “Fundraisers of this sort are a lifeline to us, so too is the printer cartridge recycling initiative. It’s wonderful to know that other people’s rubbish can be turned into cash for good causes.”
The Children’s Hospice is seeking old mobile phones, chargers and phone batteries, plus printer inkjet and toner cartridges, for recycling. These items will be used to help raise much needed funs for the service. (CD)
