Christ Church has joined the rest of South Africa in the Bottle Top and Bread Tag drive which is being run by The Sweethearts Foundation.  “Inspired by a love for our country and its people, The Sweethearts Foundation allows passionate South Africans to uplift the lives of less fortunate people in our communities.  Our mission is to provide wheelchairs to those who need them most to give them independence and be an invaluable member of their community.

Together with the support of corporates, schools and volunteers, the sweethearts provide wheelchairs to those in need through the Tops & Tags initiative where plastic bottle tops and bread tags are recycled in exchange for wheelchairs.  Generous donations maximise our impact and allow children to receive customised wheelchairs. The wheelchair is one of the most commonly used assistive devices for enhancing personal mobility, yet, thousands of South Africans remain bed-ridden, rely on family members to carry them around or turn to unsafe and uncomfortable home-made alternatives.  We believe that a wheelchair is a basic human right.” – The Sweetheart Foundation. To date, the school has collected 152.45kgs worth of bottle tops and bread tags. The school is extremely proud to be working on this very worthwhile drive.
