SIR – I work in the Scope shop in Bradford and would like to say a massive thank-you to everyone who helped us break the world record for recycling mobile phones back in January.
The response we had was overwhelming, and I am delighted to be able to share the news that the charity has set a new Guinness World Record and raised thousands of pounds to support our work with disabled people at the same time.
The phones we collected have already been recycled by our partner Redeem Plc. We recycle mobile phones all year round, so we’re asking any readers that come across any other unused handsets to please bring them into the shop along with any other good-quality stock donations.
While we won’t be breaking any new records for a while, they will still help us raise much needed funds for our work.
Susan O’Byrne, shop manager, Scope, Bradford, Darley Street, Bradford
