New Office, New Bra Bank!

This week, we are excited to be moving offices, which means our Bra Bank is coming with us!

“WHAT? WHERE ARE YOU GOING?!”

Chill! We’re only jumping a few hundred yards to Censeo House on St Peter’s Street, so for all you regular bra donators…don’t panic! You won’t have to travel far.

BRA RECYCLING BIN

The Atlas Translations’ St Albans office has been collecting bras for charity for many years. Strapless, plunge, maternity…you name it! We have a permanent Bra Recycling Bin for all your unwanted and unloved bras, which helps to raise money for the brilliant charity, Against Breast Cancer.

AGAINST BREAST CANCER

For every tonne of bras collected, Against Breast Cancer receives £700 to fund research. It’s a TRIPLE whammy…! Research is funded, landfill is reduced and the bras are sent to Africa for a new lease of life. This really is a fantastic initiative that we’re very happy to continue to support.

Due to the pandemic, many people are spending more time at home and having a good clear out. Because of this we’ve seen a huge rise in enquiries from local people who have items to donate, which is fantastic!

Bra bank donations!

“SO HOW DO I DONATE?” WE HEAR YOU CRY!

  1. Put your unwanted bras in a plastic bag, seal it and mark it clearly ‘Atlas Translations Bra Bank’.
  2. Drop by during our office hours (9am-5pm Monday to Friday), press the buzzer and one of us will come down.
  3. Accept our HUGE thanks for making the Bra Bank such a success!
