Bags for Life is an inspiring collaboration between three Hackney based organisations: Cardinal Pole School, The Urswick School and St. Joseph’s Hospice.
Bags for Life is a project involving LCF staff and students, students of hackney schools, volunteers and patients of the Hospice. Participants worked together to create a bags made from second-hand clothing donations.
The bags were modeled in two fashion shows, the Money for Life fashion show at Toynbee Hall and Axis 2013, a St Barts. Medical School Rag Week event, to raise funds and to help raise awareness of hospice care.
The Bags for Life project continues with ongoing collaborations developing between LCF, the hospice and local schools.
