Planet Aid

 

Planet Aid UK was incorporated in October 1998 - at a crucial time in the story of Teachers Group enterprises in Britain.

The original and first Teachers Group used-clothing enterprise in Britain, started in 1987, was called Humana UK, just one of many Humana enterprises in Europe. It was a registered UK charity. But in 1996, the Charity Commission began an investigation which, in late 1998, led to the closure of Humana UK on grounds of fraud.

Even before the Teachers Group had lost control of Humana, it had arranged to create a replacement used clothes collection business. The first new business was Green World Recycling, founded in the UK in April 1998 and still going. Planet Aid arrived six months later. Neither is a charity.
