Donate your old baby blankets, Terry nappies and clothes, and Hipp Organic will give 50p to ?Feed the children? for every parcel received.  Hipp has announced it is repeating the successful ?Blankets for Babies ? campaign which runs until the end of December 2007.

The first ?Blankets for Babies? campaign took place during 2006 and parents were asked to send items by post direct to the ?Feed the Children ?. The campaign succeeded in not only generating many much needed baby blankets and baby clothes; but also ?5000 which funded shipment of the items abroad to those in need.

We urge all parents to dig out their unwanted baby things and send them in for the new campaign. Sending just one item in an A4 envelope will suffice.  For every package sent in, Hipp will again donate 50 pence to ?Feed the Children?.

Brian Main from Feed the Children comments "Working with Hipp on the 'Blankets for Babies' campaign was a real success in 2006. I want to thank all the parents who donated previously; and hopefully we'll get an even bigger response this year."

He adds "The children and babies in the regions where we send aid urgently need clothing and blankets for warmth as well as terry nappies which are in such short supply there. Our aim at 'Feed the Children' is to create more opportunities and a brighter future for children who have been neglected, abandoned or exploited as a result of poverty, conflict or disaster."

As a thank you for donations received, Feed the Children will send a free set of 4 colourful Hipp feeding spoons to everybody who includes their name and address with their donation.

Items should be sent in the post, along with the senders name and address if the feeding spoons are required to: Hipp 'Blankets for Babies' campaign, Feed the Children, 2 Tavistock Industrial Estate, Ruscombe Lane, Twyford, Berks, RG10 9NJ.

With the new school year fast approaching it?s easy to forget about sustainability issues when your hunting down the best value school uniforms for your kids.  But pause for a minute and apply the same principles that you might when you?re down at the supermarket buying your organic or fair trade foods?

Clean Slate offers UK's first ever range of fair trade and organic cotton school uniforms. They aim to be an exemplary fair trade company and wherever possible use their business as a proponent of ethical and environmentally sustainable practices.
