Hayle WI members decided to collect 100 bras as their challenge to celebrate the CFWI centenary. The bras have been sent to the charity Against Breast Cancer, a scheme which takes unwanted or unloved bras and raises vital funds for pioneering breast cancer research.
The same bras also help to support small businesses in Africa by giving them a new lease of life in developing countries such as Togo, Ghana and Kenya, where bras remain too expensive to produce locally.
For every tonne of bras collected, Against Breast Cancer receives £600 to fund research.
