Members of #SoroptimistBristol visited PhysioNet’s charity base in Gloucestershire on 25th March to sort out a veritable mountain of crutches! We paired, cleaned & sorted the crutches, tying them in bundles of five, in preparation for these to be shipped abroad.

I participate every year in The Big Plastic Count, as many #SoroptimistBristol members do, & every year it’s scary to see how much plastic we’ve used.
If more people joined this governments might take action.
