Create a Boomerang Bag Community
Step 1 : People Power
Join our Boomerang Bags Community and establish a local work group in Dorset. Let us know who and what your planning and we can help advise best solutions to get started.
Step 2 : Fabric
Set up some fabric drop points, we will add this location to our listings her on Boomerangbags.org and on our FaceBook page and you can gather that material needed. Ask your community if they have a cupboard full of leftover quilting fabric, unwanted duvets or pillow cases? We together will gladly give this pre-loved material and new home and new life!
Step 3 : Workshops
Arrange some dates and advertise via our Facebook Page. Ask you community if they have a few spare hours up their sleeve. It’s a fantastic social event and supports individuals that would like to help the community and have some quality social time with like-minded people.
Step 4 : Boomerang Logo
Arrange for the printed patches with the Boomerang logo to be sent to you so you can finish the bags, yes we do this bit for you as it’s the only part that costs – we have the ink and stamps so its easier for us to send this bit ready made and that’s a plug-and-play service!
Step 5 : Businesses
Let us know the businesses that want to hand out the bags once made and we can send a template for the retail hangers or they can collect the hangers ready made from Dorchester. The display is key to the advertising.
Step 6 : Promote
Let us know how you are getting on! Let us know the number of bags and amount of helpers involved so that we can promote this- we will add the information to the global network.
