Thank you to third year Nottingham Trent Students for the animation and to Simon Mayo for doing the voiceover. We’re very grateful for all your help.

My Bag is a registered not for profit charity.

98p of every £1 raised goes into buying the items for the bags. The other 2p is used to pay for things such as printing and the website/email. The Trustees are all volunteers and DO NOT take a single penny. Everything we do, we do because we believe so strongly in our cause.
