Clothing Collection Leaflets

South Gloucestershire Trading Standards are concerned by clothing collection leaflets being posted through residents’ doors.
Many stop short of falsely claiming they are collecting on behalf of national charities, but give the impression that by donating you will be benefiting a worthy cause.
Trading Standards are concerned that that this is not the case and recommend donating to charities directly. For advice, contact Consumer Direct on 08454 04 05 06.
