Uniform swap shop

What is the uniform swap shop?

School uniform swap shop

If you need school uniform or have good quality items you would like to pass on, there are local community-run school uniform swap shops located across the borough. These volunteer-led hubs and Co-Op stores make it easy for families to access affordable, sustainable uniform while supporting one another.

Donations of good quality used items are most welcome.

This includes:

  • School coats
  • Jumpers/blazers
  • Trousers
  • Polo shirts/shirts
  • Dresses
  • Skirts
  • P.E. kits (not personalised), including bags and shoes
  • School shoes
  • Book bags

Clothing will be displayed in the local venues and there will be collection boxes for items donated. Families can then access free-of-charge school uniform for their children from their local venue. You don’t have to donate to take uniform, and it is open to everyone.
