Staff, volunteers, members, friends, locals and supporters of the group and church all got behind the campaign and generated an amazing £2300 for their efforts in promoting the re-use of clothing as a fundraising tool.

Alan Groves, Regional Co-ordinator with All-Tex Recyclers said: “We were delighted to work alongside Matt and the Logic Cafe to help them raise money and encourage the re-use of clothing. It has been a pleasure to work with such a focused and committed group of people and it is a credit to them the extent of their success. I must say I am so impressed with the work they do for everyone and their enthusiasm and drive towards fundraising evident through our ‘Reduce, Re-use and Recycle Scheme.’ I am so pleased to be able to reward their efforts with this cheque.”
