Local Life - Wigan - April 2019

It’s a big BRAvo to Winstanley College student
Rhianna Watt who has been collecting old
bras for the ‘Smalls for All’ campaign run by
the Against Breast Cancer charity.
Rhianna has been asking fellow students to
donate their old bras which will be recycled
by the charity or sent to developing countries
such as Toga, Ghana and Kenya, where bras
are too expensive to produce locally.
Smalls for All
Over 100 bras have been donated, a fantastic
result for Rhianna who is no stranger to
running charity campaigns, having recently
been involved with The Red Box project
against period poverty.
Rhianna said: ‘Thank you to all the students who
have donated, I didn’t think we would get so many!
As well as helping women in poorer countries, for
every tonne of bras collected, £700 is donated to
Against Breast Cancer to fund their research which
makes it a doubly important campaign.’
