Clothes Collecting
What do you do with your out of fashion clothes? H&M is launching a global initiative to collect worn out or defective garments in their shops. In return, costumers will get a 10 per cent off voucher on their next purchase. Numbers show that 95 per cent of these garments could be reworn, reused or recycled. In Bahrain, look for the disposal counter within the Seef Mall store.
Charity Shop
If you have some belongings in good usable condition and want to donate them, go to Second Chance Charity shop, above Tibra’s pet supply store along the Budaiya Highway. All the money collected goes directly to the animals at the Second Chance Animal Rescue Center. Volunteers are welcome!
Fun for Kids
Bahrain City Centre has organised a Kids Ville Colouring Activity Station where children can develop their inner creativity when colouring pages, while mum shops! The activity centre is hosted daily and is free of charge, with workshops taking place from 6-9pm.
