Go Green in the Community

Our company was founded on social and ethical principles and these are at the heart of everything we do. You have taken the first step towards encouraging your customers to think more about re-using bags and helping the environment, and we will help you by providing as much information as you need. We take an active roll in our local communities and are very happy to come and talk to local groups (across Central Scotland, for now) about any of the topics on our website.

Go Green Bags are an ideal product for raising funds and we will always offer charities and voluntary groups very competitive prices. We can also help with fundraising tips and workshops (subject to minimum numbers – contact anne@gogreenbags.co.uk to register interest)

Sponsorship

We are delighted to sponsor The Recyclists from St Andrews, winners of the Observer Ethical kids award 2010. Here's what made them winners...

Follow them on Facebook

You could set up a similar scheme in your town or start your own plastic bag free community.

We receive many invitations to sponsor groups and events and while we would love to satisfy everyone, we are just not big enough (yet) to be able to do so. We are not in a position to make cash donations, but we will supply a few bags for raffles etc. where requested.

Why not ask a local business to sponsor a bag and earn funds that way. It provides income for you and good publicity for them.
