Recycle your ink cartridges

Donate your empty ink cartridges to Think Inks for recycling and Above & Beyond will receive up to £5 for each one.

Sending empty cartridges to Think Inks is easy; request a FREEPOST bag from the Think Inks website, selecting Above & Beyond as your charity, and it will be sent to your address. Fill the bag with your empty cartridges (two to ten cartridges are permitted in each bag) to recycle. The bag can then be posted in any post box, for free. 

Do a sweepstake

Whether it's a sports tournament, a reality show or even whodunnit in your favourite soap, download our sweepstake kit and get involved!

Simply download and print out the form, write in the names of the teams or contestants and offer them to your friends, family or colleagues for a suggested donation of £2. Once the competition is over, the person who picked out the winner gets half of the sweepstake pot, and the rest is donated to our hospitals.
