**Shirtmaker TM Lewin has announced National Shirt Exchange Week during which it
will help fundraise for the housing and homelessness charity Shelter. From 26 September
to 2 October the company is inviting the public to bring in any unwanted shirts 
to their nearest TM Lewin store and they will be donated to Shelter for them to 
sell in their shops.**

In addition, the company will donate £2 from the sale of every shirt purchased throughout
the week to Shelter.

Those that can not visit a TM Lewin store can still take part online. Online shoppers
will be sent a donation bag enabling them to take their unwanted shirts into their
local Shelter store.

To promote National Shirt Exchange Week the company “will be building the biggest
ever house made of shirts” in Paternoster Square, London on 26 September and in 
Spinningfields, Manchester on 28 September.

The company’s Managing Director Geoff Quinn has already said that he will be donating
several shirts, and journalist Jon Snow and Idris Elba from ‘The Wire’ are both 
going to be donating signed shirts to be auctioned in aid of Shelter. Leon Doyle
from the recent series of ‘The Apprentice’ has 20 old shirts he is donating to support
the campaign.
