Spotlight on Earthlink Kids

Our friends at Earthlink Kids are all about saving the planet - one person at a time

Doing good on all fronts, they work with those with mental health, and other similar barriers, to help them get into employment - through things like work experience, mainly in their recycling department.

Earthlink Kids is a part of this division

Earthlink Kids takes unwanted corporate uniforms and turns them into cute outfits for kids. Not only are they keeping textile waste out of landfill, but they're also raising money to help keep their operations running.

Come and have a yarn to Chris and co at our Sustainable Santa Market.
