Hook business aids charity appeal

Staff at a company in Hook have taken part in a county-wide charity drive.

Virgin Media staff have been collecting unwanted bras across the last month to raise money for the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance Service, one of the centre's nominated charity. With bras worth more money per tonne than most textiles, the service has called on all businesses to lend a hand in collecting as many as they can.

Virgin Media collected 200 bras, which will be shipped to West Africa through a recycling scheme that resells at affordable prices.
