Keighley Volunteer Centre in Partnership with the James Project have over the last year engaged with local communities to make a difference to the area in which people live.
Ideas and projects are generated by local community groups who come forward looking for support and engagement. The Volunteer Centre helps to co-ordinate and empower these groups to take their ideas forward. Often seeking out the services and donations of time and resources from local companies and tradesmen.
We have been able to engage with and build an extensive range of volunteers who have selflessly given up their time and energy to make a difference to their local area. This initiative has helped to engage with people of all ages and diverse communities by empowering individuals to be proud of the community in which they live and want to make a difference.
By placing Recycling bins in the local area, and raising awareness of the projects we work on will help us to fund and ensure this work continues.
What we'll deliver:
- At two prime sites across the Bradford District, we aim to place two clothing recycling bins at a cost of £500 each
- The clothing is then washed, ironed by volunteers and sent for resale in our own charity shop
- These bins will be emptied on a weekly basis and taken to a recycling centre
Why it's a great idea:
Too much clothing is sent to landfill.
This equates to £25 million every year . This is waste and needs to stop.
Do you realise it can take between 30 - 40 years for nylon clothing to decompose at landfill.
This clothing recycling project is the first step in helping to reduce this unnecessary waste. Not only are we making our environment cleaner, and giving a cleaner world for future generations, this project also helps to make a difference to local communities.
HELP US STOP THIS UNNECESSARY WASTE AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
Steps to get it done:
- By engaging with schools, colleges and community centres we aim to make the local area more resourceful
- We aim to educate the local community that recycling is the way forward.

Keighley Volunteer Centre in partnership with the JAMES project are working hard to make a difference to the communities across the Bradford and District areas. The organisations are committed to inspiring and motivating people in the community to make a difference and change the face of the area in which they live. To enable this good work to continue more funds need to be raised. It is intended that by placing clothing recycling bins in the community will help us to achieve this. Keighley Volunteer Centre has previously worked on many community projects, these include : - building a nature walk in Fagley - the repainting of the ARC in Canterbury - Revamping the gardens at the Sue Belcher Centre in Keighley These projects engaged community spirit and a range of volunteers and supporting organisations without which, these fantastic projects would never have been achieved. How are we going to achieve this: Keighley Volunteer Centre already has a Charity Shop which is well managed by volunteers and needs good quality clothing to help these projects to continue. Working in partnership with local colleges, organisations, and the public, we have the resources to collect, recycle, and sell on the donated goods. By raising the profile of the recycling project we aim to raise awareness of the project so that funds can be channelled directly back to the benefit of our local communities. We aim to place 2 bins in the local community These bins are expensive and cost on average £500 each With your ongoing support and commitment to this project we aim to make a difference to the local community and the people who live there.
