This is NOT a suitcase
'This is NOT a suitcase' campaign was launched
in 2003 by young people from A National Voice.
It aims to put an end to the poor practice of placing
children's and young people's possessions in bin
bags when moving between care placements.
As part of this campaign children and young people from Care staged a catwalk protest - a fashion show with a difference called the 'The Refuse Collection' - all of the outfits were made form bin bags.
On this website you can see photographs from this year's fashion show, held at Tate Britain on 27/10/05.
We have also created a 'no bin bag charter', which you can also find out about on this website.
