From August 1, an exclusively designed, recycled, fund raising Rex London jumbo storage bag will be going on sale at www.rexlondon.com to raise money for the charity Make-A-Wish. One hundred per cent of the proceeds from the sale of the bag will be going directly to the charity.
“I’m delighted to welcome Make-A-Wish as Rex London’s new charity partner,” confirms Rex London’s ceo Nigel Biggs. “Last year the charity granted life changing wishes to more than 900 children and young people in the UK with critical illnesses, and we look forward to supporting their activities through the sale of this wonderful new addition to our range. Over the coming months, we will be exploring other ways to help the work of Make-A-Wish.”
The limited edition recycled storage bag has been exclusively designed by award winning children’s author and illustrator Neal Layton, and marks the company’s recent rebranding from dotcomgiftshop to Rex London.
Retailing at £4.95, sales of the bag will raise at least £10,000 for the charity say the company.
Make-A-Wish’s director of fund raising, Andy Holland, comments: “Rex London’s support will help us to create more life-changing wishes. Granting their One True Wish provides seriously ill children with hope for the future, strength to cope and resilience to fight their condition.”
Rex London introduced the recycled storage bag concept to the UK and Europe in 2007, launching with a selection of five original designs. The range has expanded, with over 80 designs to date, and sales in excess of three million bags. Made from recycled plastic bottles, the bags are used to store everything from Christmas decorations to clothes and toys.
