SK Clinic + Spa donate unwanted towels to the Blue Cross

Large bags of cotton towels from SK Clinic + Spa, in Northgate Street, Bury St Edmunds, are being donated to the Blue Cross Rehoming Centre, in Ipswich.

The salon has been refreshing and updating its supplies, which has resulted in a large quantity of towels no longer being needed but still with plenty of life left in them.

Not wanting to add to landfill and thinking that the dated materials could be of use of others, staff at SK Clinic + Spa put their heads together to find a home for them.

They contacted the Blue Cross knowing that the dogs and cats could use the towels as part of their bedding, or the staff can use them in the animals’ cleaning routine.

Tracey Salmon, from the Blue Cross said: “The towels will be used when we are bathing our dogs, as bedding for cats and dogs (and to provide security for them as covers over dens) and for the less glamorous jobs of general cleaning use around the centre.

“We are always grateful for donations and have an exciting programme underway to launch a sensory garden for the dogs. We have an appeal for additional items to help the animals, with details on our website.”

SK Clinic + Spa manager, Lyndsey Flannery, is to visit the Blue Cross Rehoming Centre in Bourne Hill, Ipswich to hand over the spa towels, on Wednesday, April 10.
