BBC Radio 4 programme - 'Face the Facts'

Dubious charity clothing collections were the subject of BBC Radio 4's 'Face the Facts' programme at lunchtime on Fri 22 August 2008.

The programme focused on four related, controversial organisations :

an unconventional international college near Hull (Yorkshire), which is using its students to deliver clothing collection leaflets
Planet Aid (PA)- a clothing collection organisation
Humana - a Danish organisation
the Tvind network.

A transcript of the programme is on the BBC website, via the following link :

Part of the BBC investigation concerned Planet Aid, who'd placed their clothing collection containers in the car parks of a number of Asda supermarkets without permission. The containers were removed by Planet Aid after Asda threatened them with legal action.

Planet Aid isn't a registered charity.
