PEOPLE in Huddersfield are being asked to give their old mobile phones to help charity.
As part of National Recycling Week, The Body Shop group is asking for unwanted mobiles to be handed in at any of its stores nationwide.
The scheme, Donate A Phone, Save A Life, aims to provide personal alarms for women at risk of domestic violence.
The store chain, working with national domestic violence charity, Women's Aid, hopes to collect enough to distribute new alarms around the country in the next six months.
Disused mobile phones are also bad for the environment.
The Oxfam charity, which has a recycling centre in Huddersfield, is calling on students to hand in their unwanted phones to help stop the pollution caused by the batteries.
The charity will also receive £5 for each phone collected, estimating that 12m unused phones in the UK could pay for just under 40,000 classrooms to be built in Africa.
