We aim for all our sheets to be granted Fairtrade status in the near
future, for although our entire supply and manufacturing chain does already
adhere to the Fairtrade principles, not all the suppliers have as yet applied
for Fairtrade status.
Our Commitment To Helping Others
DK Glovesheets has been actively involved in aiding charities from the
start. We try never to waste any materials that could be used by others.
Over the years we have sent at least a hundred tons of cloth pieces that
are too small for our use but large enough to be used for medical practices,
cleaning and clothes manufacture to third world countries. We have also
sent the relevant machinery (about 100 sewing machines) and various other
textile equipment to enable the recipients to make these articles of
clothing. The countries we have sent these items to have been mainly
central and southern Africa, and they have always been gratefully received.
We have also helped fund schools and other projects in Ghana. We are well
aware of the pitfalls of sending aid to third world countries, and only send
goods and aid where we have a known contact to receive and distribute
them.
