Recycling for Kids (Weds 11 June doorstep collection) - Paul2 (11th Jun 2025 �09:35:53) Many of you may have received a pink envelope branded 'Recycle' and 'Kids - Disabled Children say we can' which is asking for doorstep clothing donations. Let's look at pure facts here, not speculation. The envelope is promoted by a company (back, bottom right) 'Fundraise Together'. That is registered with Companies House. The director - who I won't name - is also a director of 17 other companies, many promoting clothing recycling for various causes. Some further research returns the information that all these companies have 1 controlling parent company - Green Sequoia Limited - which is owned by - yes, you guessed it! - that one, same individual who enjoys all the dividends! He is listed as a Polish national, with multiple addresses. In fairness, this is all correct but these are Ltd Co's with the purpose of generating profit for dividends, not exclusively for charitable causes. So I would just say this - always do your due diligence and be careful of what charities you support. My 'Fundraise Together Limited' recycling bag is in the bin, where it should be. [editor]Better to recycle the bag for garden waste than putting it in the bin empty.[/editor]
