THE PTA at Grange Primary School in South Ealing has organised another lockdown clear out in order to raise funds while also help reduce waste.

This follows the post-lockdown clear out organised in December, which raised £420 by donating 1,400kg of unwanted clothing.

Vice-Chair of Grange PTA, Jo Wiltshire, told Nub News: "Schools have had to re-think their learning strategies due to COVID and we've had to invest more in online learning and we need funds for that."

That's why on Sunday, March 21, the PTA is hosting a clear out and is inviting everyone to go and donate whatever clothes, soft toys, shoes, towels, bed sheets, hat, coats and whatever else they can.

"We've all gone through lockdown clear outs," said Wiltshire.

"Let us help you by taking your clear outs and in the process we help ourselves by raising money for our school."

Those who wish to donate are asked to bring their donations in a black bin liner and to wear a face mask.

The PTA will then put all the donations in bags and take them to Bag2School, who weigh the bags and pay the PTA based on weight.

A piece of designer clothing and an unmarked brand could raise the same amount of money, as it's all based on weight.

The mum-of-two said: "Every little helps to save on landfill and raise essential funds for our school community."

Donations will be collected on Sunday (March 21) between 10am-12pm at Grange Primary School car park, on Church Gardens.
