West Ealing Community Library is on Melbourne Avenue, West Ealing, London W13 9BT.
The pop-up School Uniform Free shop and swap will be open on Saturday, 6 September from 10-12 noon. The swap will be open for as long as stocks last. For full details of the project, including the school uniform drop off locations and other dates for the School Unform free shop and swap location go to Ealing School Uniform Swap.
Drop off school uniform that is no longer needed. We want school uniforms that are washed, clean and in good condition. However, it is not essential that you bring items, you are welcome to take up to four items free from our free shop and swap. This is to make sure there’s enough available for everyone to take some uniform.
For more advice on getting the most out of school uniform see Ealing Repairs article on how to extend the life of school uniform.
At the free shop and swap there is branded and unbranded Ealing school uniform items, such as shirts, skirts, trousers, tops and jumpers. Also sportswear such as tops, shorts and trousers. This event is supported by ActForEaling, Ealing Council and West Ealing Community Library.
Why It Matters:
- Reduce textile waste: help keep usable clothing out of landfill
- Support local families: these items go directly to those in need
- Simplify giving: just drop generous items at your local library
Help make this school year easier and greener for Ealing families. Come along Saturday, 6 September from 10-12 noon to pick up and/or drop off school uniform.
