Launched in 2005, the textile recycling scheme was kick-started by setting up a partnership with Yorkshire Air Ambulance, and further assisted by the Leeds-based supermarket agreeing for banks to be placed at 16 of its stores across the county.

Since 2005, the scheme has grown exponentially, supporting regional causes ranging from air ambulance charities, search and rescue organisations to hospices and community sport groups.

“Our work has helped to save or improve the lives of many people by providing funds towards the life-saving and life- changing goals our charity partners have.

“They are all fantastic organisations and we’re constantly in awe of the work which they carry out every single day.

“We are looking forward to hitting the next milestone for them as soon as possible.”
