What is a clothing drive?

With over 180 stores across the UK, PDSA always need donations of clothes and other items. As great way to support PDSA would be to organise a clothing drive, where you collect items then donate them to your local PDSA store; the twist being you get as many people involved as possible; the more people the more items you can get for PDSA! Depending upon how adverturous you are you could get your whole school or college involved.

Things to consider

How and where are you going to advertise this collection?
Contact your local PDSA store so they know what you are doing.
Are they going directly to your local store or are you collecting them? If you're collecting the clothes you need to think of somewhere suitable to hold the collection.
Make sure the goods collected are suitable for collection.
