What is the Campaign for Wool?
The Campaign for Wool was initiated in October 2008 by His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, who had observed that the
wool industry was facing enormous and unprecedented challenges. The Campaign for Wool is a coalition of key organisations and workforces in the wool industry, convened by HRH The Prince of Wales, all of whom are united by a common goal to educate consumers on the value, benefits and versatility of wool. Recognising the need for natural solutions, HRH The Prince of Wales has agreed to be patron of The Campaign for Wool, an initiative based on the Prince’s drive for universal sustainability.
