Kit Heath Jewellery Amnesty for Save the Children

At the beginning of the year Kit Heath launched its first jewellery amnesty to raise money for Save the Children. Through-out the UK Kit Heath have been distributing amnesty bags which are free post back to them. Kit Heath's aim is to raise as much money as possible through the donation of old silver jewellery.

This silver can be broken chains, squashed rings, odd earrings, tarnished pieces, unwanted styles or gifts. The silver will be sold as scrap and the monies received donated directly to Save The Children. Please note that Kit Heath's scrap merchants are waiving any processing fees for this campaign so the true value of all scrap donated will be given to Save The Children.

If you order a piece of Kit Heath Kids jewellery from Amazon.co.uk, an amnesty bag will be within that order for you to fill and post it back to Kit Heath.
