Wrapped in Kindness

Every year, countless clothing items go to waste. Wrapped in Kindness aims to change that.

This innovative bin system allows people to donate old clothes, which are either upcycled into new garments (such as turning t-shirts into pants) or exchanged for items they need. It’s a sustainable way to reduce waste.

As a trial, the team will introduce donation bins across schools, collecting clothing and turning them into blankets to be distributed to local Anglicare centres to help people facing hardship.
