Salisbury Soroptimists are once again on the hunt for as many pre-owned bras as they can find still in usable condition.
The bras are collected and donated to women in rural Africa, who rarely get the opportunity to own a bra.

A spokesperson for Salisbury Soroptimists said: “In rural Africa, many women never dream of owning a bra – any disposable income is spent on food, children, husbands and lastly on women. But with your help, this can change.”
The Salisbury Soroptimists hope to break the record set last year of 2,527 bras collected, which were then sent to the Rural SMILE foundation in Ejura, Ghana via Afreebra.
Donations can be accepted until the end of June at the Five Rivers Leisure Centre or 60 Endless Street. Alternatively, donation drop-offs can be arranged by contacting Penny Joyce via email or sending a message to the Salisbury Soroptimist’s email.
