Return for Children, the fundraising initiative by Re-turn which operates the deposit return scheme, has raised €90,000 to date.

The initiative, which was launched eight months ago, runs at large-scale events such as festivals, concerts, and matches where attendees are given the option of donating their cans and bottles for charity.
