I noticed that the Greyhound car park in bengeo has recently become the siter of a new clothing bin. Thinking how convenient that would be I went to have a look at it and discovedred that is operated by Planet Aid UK. neot having heard of them I did some research and it seems that they are something to do with the people who ran the discredited Humana organisation which once had a large number of such banks. See http://www.charitybags.org.uk/clothing_collections/clothing_collections_planet_aid_humana_tvind.shtml http://www.tvindalert.com/the-used-clothes-scam/ Their own website shows that they are not a registered charity but a commercial concern and the Project leader is Birgit Soe whose past activities are easily found via a google search. I would ask that everone steers clear of this clothes bank and that if it is there officially that McMullens consider if this is an organisation they should be associated with.
