Free School Uniform Shop and Swap
Drop off school uniform that you no longer need. We want school uniforms that are washed, clean and in good condition. It is not essential that you bring items along to the free shop and swap. Take up to four school uniform items per child for free. This is to make sure there’s enough available for everyone to take some uniform.
