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. Better to recycle the bag for garden waste than putting it in the bin empty.
