Hand in glove: For charity and greenery

It may seem an unlikely pairing but First Group, the bus company, is linking with consultancy Green Thing in the Glove Love appeal – asking for anyone who finds a glove or two on a bus to donate them so they can create new pairs which will then go to charity.

Lauren Budd is fronting Glove Love's appeal along with celebrities Emma Thompson and Eva Green. First is also working with Green Thing on its Love Bus and Greener Journeys campaign with which it hopes to cut car journeys by one billion.
