Feather and Twigs is bagging the bra this year by supporting a charity that helps research into breast cancer.
Against Breast Cancer is a charity that funds research into breast cancer and they offer a Bra recycling scheme which takes unwanted or unloved bras through their network of bra banks raising vital funds for pioneering breast cancer research.
The same bras also help to support small businesses in developing countries in Africa and around the world. Together with their recycling partners, their textile recovery project prevents these bras going into landfill before giving them a new lease of life in countries such as Tongo, Ghana and Kenya, where bras remain expensive to produce locally.
Successful ventures like this provide an income for families in developing countries whilst providing employment for people living in the UK. Any bras that are genuinely beyond redemption are dismantled and disposed of properly.
For every tonne of bras collected . Against Breast Cancer receives £700 to fund their research. With over 30 million women in the UK you could really make a difference and we have therefore set up a collection service.
Feather and Twigs are starting small and if it is of interest to local women we will look to have a "bra bank" at the shop. For our customers that don't live near we detail the postal address below as to where to send your unused or unloved bras.

We’re delighted to introduce a new handcrafter to our Feather and Twigs family—Pam Peters Designs, a vibrant fused glass studio rooted in the heart of North Wales. Pam’s journey began in 2014, in a humble ‘Wendy House’ nestled in her garden, where she and a friend first experimented with glass, drawing inspiration from the surrounding wildlife and natural beauty. What started as a creative spark soon blossomed into a flourishing business.
Mark your calendars for a weekend of creativity, inspiration, and community spirit! On Friday 27th and Saturday 28th September, Feather & Twigs is proud to host a Community Art Fair at the beloved Croston Old School, bringing together a vibrant mix of local artists and their stunning work.
Little Beau Sheep’s founder, Sarah Turner, has redefined what it means to love your laundry and pamper your skin—all while honouring the environment. Her collection uses British wool sourced responsibly, offering alternatives to everyday essentials that are kinder to the planet. From lanolin-rich laundry balls to all-natural felted soap, each item is crafted with care and a commitment to sustainability.
