THE British Red Cross has launched a recycling initiative that will allow people in the Alcester area to turn their empty inkjet cartridges into cash for good causes.

For every cartridge returned, the British Red Cross will receive a donation of £1, allowing it to continue helping those in crisis.

In the UK, thousands of volunteers and staff provide a range of community services, designed to meet the needs of vulnerable people facing personal crisis.

The British Red Cross aims to be the leading voluntary provider of emergency help to people most in need both at home and abroad.
