Don't bin them... donate :)

A bra recycling bin has been placed at the reception in the Breast Care Unit, Entrance 1, Castle Hill Hospital.

It's part of Against Breast Cancer's bra recycling campaign, which takes unwanted or unloved bras, and raises vital funds for pioneering breast cancer research through a network of bra banks.

Here at CISS; we recognise that each caring role is individual, and the support and care provided can be very varied and differ from one carer to the next.

We have developed leaflets covering different areas of care/health conditions to allow each carer to have leaflets bespoke to their needs to build up their own reference guide pack. For more information talk to your support worker, or call us on 01482222220.
