Kick your unwanted mobile to the Manchester United Foundation
Reds go Green by recycling unwanted handsets and raising much needed funds for the Foundation to help local children in the community
With over 15 million mobile phones replaced every year and an estimated 90 million sitting in drawers and toy boxes across the country, why not send your unwanted mobile phone to the Manchester United Foundation and give it a new life.
This season, the Manchester United Foundation is offering all fans the opportunity to recycle their unwanted mobile phones to raise funds for the charity. The money raised will go to help educate, motivate and inspire young people to build a better life for themselves and improve the communities they live in. The Foundation delivers football coaching, skills training, personal development and life changing experiences, providing young people with opportunities to change their lives for the better. Through football, The Manchester United Foundation encourages young people to develop as players and more importantly as people.
Recycling your phone for The Manchester United Foundation is free and easy. Simply pop it in an envelope and send it to FREEPOST M.U. FOUNDATION. Your phone is sent to Regenersis, the largest and most ethical recycler of mobile phones in Europe. All phones are tested and all data is removed. The phones are then refurbished and sent to developing countries to improve communications. Phones which are too old or beyond repair are sent for safe recycling, ensuring that nothing goes to landfill.
Sir Alex Ferguson said, “Through working in partnerships, Manchester United Foundation will develop our youngsters so that they are able to acquire qualities which will remain with them through life - being positive, believing in themselves, working hard and recognising the importance of team work. These are all attributes which I instil every day in our players.”
