This collection is run in partnership with Bag2School, a free and eco-friendly fundraising scheme that helps schools, clubs, community groups, and charities raise money through textile recycling. Bag2School operates across most of Ireland, collecting good-quality unwanted clothing and selling it to importers and wholesalers in Europe, Africa, and Asia. Their model turns a resource everyone has—unwanted clothes—into meaningful financial support, while also promoting awareness around textile reuse and sustainability.

Proceeds from our collection will go towards funding the Cór an Chroí choir’s exciting trip to Rome, where students will have the opportunity to perform and represent our school internationally. In addition, a portion of the funds raised will support LauraLynn, whose compassionate services make an extraordinary difference to children and families across Ireland.

We warmly encourage families to gather any clean, reusable clothing, paired shoes, handbags, belts, or soft toys and drop them off at the designated collection point. Your contribution supports our choir, supports LauraLynn, and supports a greener planet.
