Can you host a textile bank?

What’s lime green, metal, and saves local lives?

You won’t find one at our airbase, and it won’t arrive in an emergency—but it’s still a vital part of our lifesaving mission.

We’re talking about textile banks! 

Standing at 5’ x 5’ and raising around £950 every year, each textile bank helps fund your local air ambulance. With your support, we’re aiming to hit a major milestone: £250,000 raised through textile recycling in partnership with Recycling Solutions.

 

Can you help us find a home for one?

We need decision-makers who can say yes to hosting a textile bank at their site. If you or someone you know can help, we’d love to hear from you! 

Ideal locations include:

  • Supermarkets

  • Pubs

  • Village halls

  • Leisure centres

  • Garden centres

    Our partners at Recycling Solutions service these banks regularly and resolve any issues within 24 hours.

    Every new bank means more funds to keep our critical service flying.
